Sunyani Technical University
About
<p>The University started as Sunyani Technical Institute (SUTECH) in 1967 to offer technical and vocational education and training to Middle School Leavers, and later on, to Junior Secondary School graduates in hands-on Craft/Intermediate Block-Laying and Concreting, Carpentry and Joinery, Furniture Craft as well as Painting and Decoration programs. Other programs offered included Electrical Installation, Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice, Welding and Fabrication, Cookery for the catering and hospitality industry and Business Studies with options in Accounting and Secretarial management. It is interesting to note that, some of these courses are still being offered by the University to different targeted groups through the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET). In 2016, Sunyani Polytechnic was converted to Sunyani Technical University (STU) and given a new mandate through the coming into force of the Technical Universities Act 2016 (Act 922 as amended). Sunyani Technical University is committed to providing career-focused higher education in engineering, science and technology-based disciplines, TVET, applied arts and related disciplines, emphasizing practical-orientation and entrepreneurial development:<br></p><ul><li><p>To make a major contribution towards meeting the requisite manpower needs of Ghana, Africa and globally.</p></li><li><p>Through the adoption of the most effective teaching and learning methodologies (including Competency Based Training), applied research, invention, innovation and extension service approaches.</p></li></ul>
