KENOSHA, Wis (WRJN) – Gateway Technical College has been awarded the Metallica ‘All Within My Hands‘ Scholarship for the sixth consecutive year, continuing its streak since the scholarship’s inception.
This year, the college will receive $5,000 to support students in the Advanced Manufacturing program, marking the third year this funding will be directed towards the expanding career field.
“Gateway Technical College is honored to once again be part of the Metallica Scholars initiative through the American Association of Community Colleges,” said Matt Janisin, executive vice-president of Academic Affairs at Gateway.
A statement says the scholarship has been instrumental in equipping students with skills in automation and robotics technologies, meeting the growing workforce demand.
