Welcome the STI Center of Arts

The past few years saw the STI Education Services Group grow by leaps and bounds. STI Campuses are now being built, various courses are now offered and Filipinos now have seen the true value of an STI education. Before, COmputer Science and Computer Engineering where the in demand courses that STI offered, now it has ventured into various disciplines like Nursing, Hotel and Restaurant Management and even added some Business Management courses. Since the construction of the STI Academic Center at the Fort in Global CIty, STI has opened its doors to new partners once again in creating the STI Center of Arts. There will be four course offerings with noted personalities leading the different dsiciplines.

The first course that was launched last summer is the Photography course which has been getting a lot of attention to many people nowadays specially with the influx of various Digital SLR cameras in the market today. Leading the classes is reknowned artist, singer, composer and now photographer Jim Paredes. That is just for starters because I believe if the course becomes a good fixture then STI might invite other people to join the ship.

So if you know anyone who has just purchased a new Nikon or Canon DSLR from Quiapo and is serious in learning the basics of photography, then lead them to the STI Center of Arts. The photography studio will definitely help them come out with great pictures may it be portraits, macro shots, sports or whatever they want.

Just recently STI partnered with the Trumpets Playshop, one of the reknowned group in the country that trains would be artists in the field of music, theatre, dance and a lot more. Partnering with them definitely shows the seriousness of STI to give another venue for would be artists to get the best education when it comes to the fields mentioned. Multi-awarded thespian Audie Gemora leads the Trumpets playshop and they are very excited about the project and are raring to start training kids and adults in the field of theatre and others. At the ground floor of the STI Academic Center is a 200 seat theatre that will be at their disposal.

Dance lessons, music lessons and even band lessons can be taught. The venue also has a recording studio so that a group who wants to immortalize their songs can record their compositions or renditions in the click of a button. The Music room has other break out rooms if ever students would want to enroll in voice lessons or learn to play various musical instruments.

Another form of Arts that is very popular in the country right now is what we call Culinary Arts which is also set to be taught at the Center for Arts. Culinary Arts as we know centers more on cooking and becoming a chef. This should not be confused with the regular HRM or HRS courses offered by STI also since both have different outputs but are someway related to each other.

The last ingredient in the school of arts is Fashion Design. The last I heard after talking to Jaeger Tanco who is on top of all the things done in the cente for arts, he is currently talking to top fashion designer Rene Salud to spearhead this project. For those who don't know, the first uniform of STI designed in the 90's was a done by Rene Salud. That alone gives class to the students of STI.

The STI Center for Arts is located at the fifth floor of the STI Academic Center right across Market Market Mall and Every Nation churcn at the Fort in Global City Taguig. If you want to know more about the course offerings just call 789-3099 or drop by STI College Global City. When all of these disciplines are in place, a grand launch will be done in August this year to market the courses I have just mentioned. For the meantime, cheers to the future of Arts in the country, we hope a lot of them will find their roots in the STI Center of Arts.
