Spotlight on Partnerships: A & E Incorporated
Gateway has benefited from both A & E’s financial contributions and industry insight. This partnership has resulted in modern facilities and newer classrooms for Gateway students. “People do not understand how valuable training is, but it keeps us competitive, allows us to retain a workforce and develop new products,” says Max Knoell, A & E’s VP of Marketing and Product Management.
“Technical jobs provide a good wage and better the lives of the employees and the communities in which they live. The challenge we face is finding skilled labor to fill these jobs,” said Max. “Skilled labor is in such demand and is so valuable. That is why we support Gateway -- because what they do benefits us.” Click here to read the complete article.
