Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as your name, contact details, training credentials, work history, and job preferences. We may also collect information automatically, such as device identifiers, usage data, and cookies.

Use of AI and VR

STC uses AI and VR features to assist with training and job placement. These tools may process your profile and performance data to generate recommendations. These insights are intended to supplement, not replace, human review.
