E2E system.. of STi

Establishing one’s career in today’s competitive environment has become an endless pursuit to most job seekers. Employers too are increasingly having a hard time finding the right person for the job. Too often, there remains a huge gap between the skills required by the industry and what a graduate has learned from school,hence job mismatch arises.

STI steps up to bridge this gap by introducing the world’s very first E2E (Enrollment to Employment) System.

The E2E System is a complete approach to human resource development, which aims to develop ICT-enabled professionals through innovative learning and career planning methodologies. It covers every student’s needs from the time he enrolls in STI up to the moment he applies for a job.

First, STI prepares the soon-to-be professionals with job market-oriented and highly-advanced curriculum through its unique Learning Systems Development. This standard is recognized by its top international affiliates.

This guarantees highly qualified faculty and state-of-the-art across STI’s network of schools. To date, STI is the only school in the country that utilizes standard courseware and curriculum, providing world-class learning in over 100 STI schools here and abroad.

In order to prepare students in seeking the job they are qualified for, STI carries out Quality Assurance. This prepares students for employment through rigid assessment, evaluation, and certification programs. Thus, ensuring all STI graduates are equipped with all the knowledge and skills required in the workplace.



STI’s responsibility to its graduates goes beyond quality education. Through the assured Job Placement Assistance Program, STI warrants every graduate employment support with the help of I-CARES and premier international placement agencies like GROW Inc.

The Interactive Career Assistance and Recruitment System (I-CARES) is part of STI’s continuing commitment to provide employment opportunities for its graduates. It is an online career service system that provides assistance to STI students and alumni in establishing links with prospective employers. This also helps the school in monitoring the development of its alumni in their respective careers.

It recruits, selects, and deploys highly skilled professionals in the field of ICT, business, healthcare, and education to meet the staffing needs of companies here and abroad.

STI Mission& Vision

STI named official partner for 10.10.10 Pasig River Run
October 4, 2010

Manila, Philippines – Projected to be the largest run ever conceptualized and to be actualized in the world, the 10.10.10 Pasig River Run aims to break the Guinness World Record for the most number of registered participants in a footrace slated on October 10, 2010. Along with other partners, STI is proud to sponsor this record-breaking event.





ABS-CBN Foundation’s Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig will stage an epic fun run showcasing a collaborative effort among Filipinos to be part not only of history but of an advocacy to raise awareness and funds that will help rehabilitate the ailing Pasig River.



As the official encoder of registrants for the 10.10.10 Pasig River Run, STI will be at the forefront in tallying the number of participants on the event day. STI has created an official database to ensure timely and accurate delivery of data for the marathon. Event organizers hope to draw over 120,000 registered runners, which will eclipse the current world record of 110,000 held by the 1988 “Bay to Breakers” race in San Francisco, California. STI will also provide significant logistical assistance to the event as necessary.










To date, STI is about to hit more than 5000 registrants from its Metro Manila campuses alone. STI students, faculty and staff from various STI colleges including Parañaque, Caloocan, Muñoz-EDSA, Makati, Las Piñas, Novaliches, Fairview, Cubao, Shaw, Quezon Avenue, Global City, Taft and STI Headquarters all eagerly showed support for this much-awaited event. Universities and colleges under the Commission on Higher Education recently pledged 80,000 runners. El Shaddai, one of the most influential religious movements in the country will also field 15,000 participants. Other private corporations, government offices, religious groups and NGOs have also vowed to contribute significant numbers of runners to support the advocacy.



Elbert de Guzman, Vice President for Communications of STI said, “In this fun run, we are not just representing the companies, agencies, or groups we belong to. More than just being people mobilizing for a great cause, we are most of all Filipinos actively stepping up for change. On top of just breaking a world record, let us break away from the passivity that keeps us futile. Together let’s run for one challenging, yet achievable goal that is to save the Pasig River and let the whole world be our proud audience!”



The event will have four start points: the 3k run which starts at the Mall of Asia, the 5k run with its starting point at the Cultural center of the Philippines, the 10k run which begins at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas in Makati City, and the 21k ceremonial run exclusive for members of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to be held at SM Marikina.
