Sunyani Methodist Technical Institute, formerly Methodist Vocational Institute, Sunyani, was situated at New Town Extension near Point Four Hotel, Sunyani. It was established in 1992 by the District Chairman, Rev. Asua Sekyere of the Methodist Church, Ghana, Sunyani District. The Vocational School was started at the old Chapel of the Wesley Methodist Church before moving to New Town Extension (Methodist cluster of schools). It was established to train a few youth in the church to acquire the necessary skills to start a vocation. It was later expanded to include other young men and women in the Municipality and surrounding towns and villages to acquire skills in Carpentry, Masonry, Electrical Installation, Catering, and Fashion Design. In 2010, the Methodist Vocational Institute was absorbed into the mainstream Government Technical Institutions in Ghana. Hence, its name changed to Sunyani Methodist Technical Institute.
