History of Takoradi Technical Institute
The school was formerly Takoradi Vocational Training and Trade Promotion Centre and was borne out of an agreement with Ghana and the German Government for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) to provide skilled labour for the industrial development of the Western Region and Ghana at large. Initially, it was to polish artisans such as mechanics, welders, etc. within the Sekondi / Takoradi metropolis until in 1982, the Ghana Education Service through the technical/ vocational education division converted the center into Takoradi Technical Institute.
