STI to continue 2nd semester with remote learning and online OJT!

To ensure students get high-quality
instruction in the new normal, STI will continue with its ONline and ONsite
Education at STI (ONE STI) Learning Model for its second semester, which will
officially begin on February 14, 2022. 

Launched during School Year 2020-2021,
the ONE STI Learning Model aims to achieve the desired learning outcome for
students by combining online tools with limited onsite or on-campus hands-on
training. 

STI will also
offer online on-the-job training (OJT) in the upcoming semester, an alternative
medium for trainees to develop soft skills and apply what they have learned in
school without the need to be physically present at the job location.
Trainee-employer engagement will be done via a range of digital resources such
as email, chat platforms, videocon, and webinars, among others. 

Following the mandate of the Commission
on Higher Education (CHED) on OJTs during the pandemic, the virtual OJT
provides students with work-related opportunities without compromising their
health and safety.  

Positive feedback from partners 

STI's 3rd year BA
in Communication and Bachelor of Multimedia Arts students were the first batch
who underwent the virtual OJT when it was piloted last summer of SY
2020-2021. 

The communications and multimedia
companies that partnered with STI only had positive feedback about the program.
Pioneer trainees of the online OJT were able to get onboard in these companies
with the help of their OJT advisers.   

"Although the threat of COVID-19
is still out there, the online OJT allowed me to gain skills — such as
creativity, teamwork, and adaptability — that would empower me to handle
various real-world situations and to succeed in my future career," Jessa
Jaos of STI College – Cubao, a former online OJT trainee
said.    

Gwyneth Nuez of
STI College Ortigas-Cainta, another former OJT online trainee, expressed
gratitude to STI because it found a way for students to undergo valuable job
training amidst the restrictions brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Because of
the virtual OJT, I can say that my education at STI is complete,” she
said.  

 

Making real-life education more
accessible

Students and transferees looking to
enroll at STI for the second semester can receive a holistic and fulfilling
learning experience at a reduced cost by applying for the institution’s
financial aid programs such as the Pag-IBIG-STI Educational Assistance Program
and GSIS-STI Educational Assistance Program. 

STI will also extend its internet
connectivity assistance to second semester enrollees to provide them with up to
34GB of monthly data allocation for free that they can use to access learning
materials and attend online classes.  

Students who
enroll at STI now can take advantage of the institution's quality education
under the ONE STI Learning Model. Through it, they have an opportunity to move
up in their academics, finish their degree, and eventually embark on their
future career despite the challenges of the new
normal.
