The people who teach at Gateway are passionate, and that was really important for me.
I received a raise when I graduated. My employer sees a big change in me.
Gateway has prepared me to be successful… I was able to apply everything I learned here, build amazing friendships and learn how to work with other people outside of just class.
This allows me to do what I want to do and to make money to pay for my college education to pursue what I want to do for a career for my life.
I realize now that anything is possible. I didn’t believe that before – but now I do, because of Gateway.
Without Gateway, I would still be in college, have racked up a lot of debt and still not have reached my career goals.
Going to Gateway and earning the diploma gave me even more motivation to continue. I love my job and look forward to the opportunities which will come my way, and to continue my education and earn a nursing degree.
My supervisor knew Gateway had a solid program, simple as that. No interview, just the phone conversation and emailing them my resume.
Yo obtuve ese título y las puertas se me abrieron. Este es un campo que busca gente que sepa lo que hace y la capacitación que me dieron en Gateway me ayudó a saber qué necesito para tener éxito.
I feel it was a good decision to enroll at Gateway and to change my career. I am more confident and more in control of my life and my career.
I was able to earn my degree in two years, while still being a full-time mother and wife. Gateway gave me the tools to succeed.
It will allow me to do something I enjoy doing and enable me to support my family while doing it. I will be living a far more fulfilled life than I would have otherwise.
They hired me ... right after I completed the Gateway program. I went to the front of the line -- I didn’t have to wait two years.
Gateway is where I learned to love learning. I am who I am today because of the folks at Gateway.
I’ve used every resource Gateway has – tutoring, the library and others. It has all helped me.
I realized I couldn’t do it without a degree.
I’m finishing up the Mechanical Design Technology program right now. And I already got a job through the reverse career fair that Gateway held a few years ago.
Everyone at Gateway is focused on helping the students. Everyone is approachable. One time, I sent out an email to the dean of my program to ask a few questions, and he sent a personal email right back to me.
Gateway really cares about your success!
I did have some basic knowledge, but the Gateway degree really helped me run the business.
We did some work at Gateway in the lab, but I appreciate this experience at an actual job site so much more.
“Being able to earn my degree and transfer to a four-year college was a selling point for me for Gateway”
I want to be part of something where I can add value and perspective. That’s why I selected electrical engineering, and that’s why I selected Gateway.
... You ask yourself, ‘Can I keep going, or stop because I can’t afford to get those books I need for class now?’ The scholarship was that tipping point for me to stay in college.

Gateway has helped me to have a better life.
I think Gateway has really set me apart from others who are graduating and others who are my age.
I think [Gateway]’s small enough that you can get that one-on-one help you need, guidance you need. … You learn the technical skills .. but … also ... how to work with clients.
I realized while I was in the Facilities Maintenance program that my real passion was to rehab houses and open my own business to do that, as well as property maintenance.
Instructors gave us advice — they prepared you for the real world. They showed us what we needed to do to succeed.
The campus life is great...especially since there are so many opportunities to work on campus. I look forward to the rest of my stay here!
Not a lot of people can say they earned their high school and college diploma at the same time. It’s awesome that I already have a job in my career while people I know are still going to college.
I’m able to say I have an education. I have a small business. I have a family that I’m in love with. That’s my life – and Gateway has been the key to my success.
That was the overall comment I was hearing – go to Gateway.

The best thing was the clinicals. Technically, you are in the real world, able to practice all those skills you’ve learned.
