Gateway planning program expansion in Elkhorn

By STAFF Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012

ELKHORN — Gateway Technical College is proposing a $49-million capital projects package that would expand its facilities and programs, including a new veterinary technician lab, a cosmetology lab and a culinary arts lab at the Elkhorn campus, according to a story in the Milwaukee Business Journal.

The Elkhorn projects, which also include expanding the site’s current welding lab and adding an automated manufacturing lab, would total $13.5 million.

Jayne Herring, Gateway’s marketing director, said the projects planned in the expansion, such as the new culinary lab at Elkhorn, are in response to what area manufacturers are looking for.

I hope they just teach the skills needed for other jobs without all the BS (social studies, literature, history etc.). This use to be a technical institute now it's trying to compete with UW Whitewater but with no citizens controlling the purse strings.
