President and CEO

Gateway Technical College (Gateway) invites applications and nominations for the position of President and CEO.

As the college embarks on the exciting, yet crucial, journey of finding its next president, it seeks a strong, dedicated leader prepared to stay true to its vision of making life-changing educational opportunities a reality, while reinvigorating the college and driving it forward into the future. Embodying exemplary communication, confidence and integrity is vital as the next president works to build relationships, continue to create a sense of community and ensure Gateway excels in meeting the needs of students and communities. Above all else, the next president must prioritize strengthening Gateway’s solid reputation as a leader in technical education through their trusted decisions and actions.

The next Gateway Technical College president will be an innovator and relationship builder, someone who embraces the culture of the college and builds towards the future, as well as seeing the challenges facing the college as opportunities for growth and success. They will be aided in their endeavor by the vision the region shares of Gateway as a vital partner in economic growth and development and a clear factor in community well-being.

Gateway Technical College has a sterling local, regional, national and international reputation as a cutting-edge two-year technical college that provides hands-on career training to more than 20,000 students annually and meets the needs of area employers and the communities we serve. Serving Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties in Southeastern Wisconsin, the college’s commitments to innovation and preparing students to succeed in their fields through state-of-the-art training have been cornerstones since Gateway became the first publicly funded technical college in America in 1911. Gateway remains a leader among the 16 colleges in the Wisconsin Technical College System. To learn more about Gateway Technical College, visit: gtc.edu.
