CASE STUDY 1 (STI Alaminos)  The aim for partnering with public/private schools is to assist in their computer literacy program particularly in remote barangay high schools where computer access is limited.  OJTs are alumni of the chosen partner school.  Some students were expected to handle actual classes and teach ICT to the students.

CASE STUDY 2 (STI Santiago)  The main driver for partnering with public/private schools was the rarity of industry and corporate establishments in the area.  The students were mostly expected and tasked to do filing and encoding. Their programming skills were rarely exercised. Place your logo here.

Private-Public Sector Partnership Simple database systems were created to make classroom and student records more manageable. The schools got to be proud of their alumni who in turn served as role models to their current students. Some of the OJTs were hired by the partner institutions as regular employees upon graduation. ICT in Education OJTs learned good work habits such as time management, productivity, work ethics, and professionalism among others.
