KPONG TECHNICAL INSTITUTE - Building Skills, Empowering Lives Since 1992 Kpong Technical Institute, K.T.I, is a reputable TVET institution under Ghana TVET Service, Ministry of Education.
Formerly known as Community Development Vocational Technical Institute-Kpong, the institute was founded in 1992 as a community mobilization project by staff of the Department of Community Development, Lower Manya Krobo Municipality. Women were trained in alternative livelihood skills including batik tie and dye, dressmaking, and other vocational trades to improve household income.
On April 4, 2002, the institute was established as the Women Training Institute, WTI, focusing on Catering and Dressmaking. It transitioned to Community Development Vocational Technical Institute on January 12, 2007, expanding into technical programs. In 2020, under the Ghana Pre-Tertiary Education Act, K.T.I moved from the Department of Community Development, Ministry of Local Government, to Ghana TVET Service, Ministry of Education.
