Accra Girls Voc. Institute

Accra Girls Voc. Institute was established in June 1973, and has been registered and recognized by the Registrar General’s Department, the Ghana Education Service (GES), and the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI).The institution is situated in Tesano near the Santana Market, about three hundred yards away from the Police Station. Mrs. Boafo’s initial idea or vision for establishing AGIVOC was to train women irrespective of their backgrounds in basic vocational skills to help them acquire a trade in order to contribute to the Ghanaian economy and also to manage effectively in the marital home. But with time, this vision has been revised to respond to the needs of a changing community and the global world.

The institute is committed to the role of enhancing knowledge, skills and competencies of women in general and the girl-child in particular, because of the belief that improving human capital enhances personal growth, employability and enterprise competitiveness which in turn enhances our country’s economic and social sustainability.

Our intent is to introduce a ‘Teaching Hospital’ concept of training where trainees provide products and services to the general public as a means of developing the skills and competencies needed to operate effectively in the market, and to raise funds to be re-invested in the training process.
