Diner Duties with Max’s
Global Max Services Pte. Ltd. (also known as Max’s Restaurant) has inked a partnership with STI Education Services Group, Inc. (STI) on August 8, 2014 at the STI Academic Center Ortigas-Cainta. Max’s expertise of the industry will be integrated to STI’s courseware materials for its Hotel and Restaurant Management and Service Programs as its online modules will be consolidated to STI’s curriculum providing industry-based practices.
In addition, Max’s will provide STI’s BS Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM) and Hospitality and Restaurant Services (HRS) students with an on-the-job training (OJT) program that seeks to immerse the students with practical procedures and techniques on handling restaurant management operations, customer service orientation, cuisine-menu preparations, and other technical skills. The supervised training by Max’s will increase the chances of STI students to become members of the organization upon graduation. STI’s Vice President for Academics Dr. Lloyd C. Bautista emphasized that, “Industry collaboration is one of STI’s priority programs. The partnership provides students access to online modules before their on-the-job deployment. This online module will be part of STI’s computer laboratory lectures, giving the students a two-day orientation and practical lessons based on the actual operation in the branch. This opportunity will give STI’s Hotel and Restaurant Management students the advantage to be immersed in the actual branch operations immediately.”
Broadening to University Life STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. has taken West Negros University (WNU) under its wing, welcoming bigger, better, and more opportunities to the promising dreams of many students in the region. The second largest university in Bacolod, now called STI–WNU, has always been known among incoming college students in the province for its BS Education and Integrated School Program, BS Engineering, Maritime Studies, and Criminology. The partnership between the two educational institutions paves the way towards better opportunities, anticipates more enhancements in the STI curriculum, and advances towards building a more conducive learning experience for the Filipino youth.

What we are looking at right now is not merely a growth for both the STI network and the students, but also an expansion of the courses and programs that many will benefit from,” says STI’s President & CEO Monico V. Jacob.
