Historical background
Jayee Institute was registered with the Registrar General’s Department and Ghana Education Service in 1987. The name chosen was “JAYEE SECRETARIAL TRAINING INSTITUTE” and it was located at the YMCA Regional Hall, Asylum Down, Accra. The aim was “to create a center for young school leavers to be trained in Secretarial and Professional skills to be used in various levels of manpower.” The initial intake was thirty (30) students in April 1988. The intake increased to eighty (80) by the end of the year and the Institute was compelled to operate three sessions (Morning, Afternoon and Evening) due to lack of accommodation. This sharp growth, coupled with the increasing demand from the public for other courses, necessitated the introduction of new programmes, the improvement of existing ones and the search for bigger premises. By dint of hard work and good planning, it has matured from its humble initial background into a full modern tertiary institution now re-located on its own premises and affiliated to the University of Education, Winneba.

The introduction of other courses coupled with our affiliation with UEW made it imperative to convert the original name to “Jayee Institute”.

Programmes
The Institute currently has two departments:
Business Management Studies and Communication Studies.
These two departments, each headed by qualified and experienced lecturer, offer two-year programmes leading to the award of Diploma Certificates by the University of Education, Winneba.

Jayee obviously stands out as a leading Secretarial Training Institute in the country today. With the establishment of the Communication Science, we foresee the department growing to become prestigious and well respected training center for knowledgeable and skillful communicators who will effect a desirable change in the lives of people. It must be stated that it has never lost on us what others have done and what others are doing. This has expression in the planning of our programmes.

The programmes have been carefully designed to give students the needed high level of knowledge, valuable skills and right attitude to be very successful in their specialized areas. To achieve this, the Institute has developed a new approach to its training. It has introduced new subjects that will prepare students to meet the challenges of today’s business world. Ours is a creation. We have added something new to the training of Business Managers and Communicators in Ghana.
