BRIEF HISTORY OF APPLIED TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE

Applied Technology Institute - East Legon was established in 7th January, 1974 in the premises of Agriculture Mechanization Engineering Directorate.

The institute was established by NVTI and Ministry of Food and Agriculture Engineering Department. The concept was to recruit and train the youth in the area of Construction Machinery Mechanics and to be employed in their Mechanics Engineering department.

15 trainees were recruited to start the training for the duration of 3 years.

In the early 80’s as the number of trainees increased the demand in other Automotive trade areas became so high, in 1985 Academic year, Motor Vehicle Mechanics (Light Engine) was introduced.

That year intake was increased to 100%. Subsequently Motor Vehicle Electricals and Heavy-Duty Diesel Mechanics were also introduced and the enrolment kept increasing till to date.

The institute has witnessed various Institute Manager’s which has brought a lot of transformational development to the institute.

There was a big warehouse which was later divided into two to three classrooms, a staff common room and a Library.

In 2012 the Institute thought of expanding the school include other demand driven programs like Electronics Engineering and Computer Hardware Engineering. Drawing proposals were made, inclusion of Boys and Girls Hostel blocks and workshops.

In February, 2022 the building were completed.
