Sanctioned by the government of [[Singapore]], the '''Institute of Technical Education''' (ITE), is a post-secondary institution that provides pre-employment training to secondary school leavers and continuing education and training to working adults. |

Since its establishment on 1 April 1992, ITE has developed itself into an institution well-known for its provision of a broad-based, multi-disciplinary curriculum that ranges from engineering to technical, business and service skills areas. |
