The relationship between Gateway and Snap-on has helped build a new strategy for us at our college, as a way to improve not only the facilities and the programs that we offer, but most importantly the outcomes and experiences of our students. It’s a curriculum change, a faculty innovation model, and most important, it’s a way to help students connect to the real world. Students graduate with unique skill sets. I hear from the industry that students need to perform at high skill levels. We’ve worked with Snap-on to develop a certification program that has gained national recognition.”

- Bryan Albrecht, President, Gateway Technical College


“The response to the program has been very positive; this curriculum offers a great foundation for student careers. They want to complete these certifications. We’ve had a positive response from local shop owners regarding student capabilities from the program.”

- Pete Gregory, Instructor, Pitt Community College

 

“I don’t think anyone can underestimate the importance of industry and education coming together to send out and put into the workforce a highly trained worker.”

- Clark Coco, Dean of Washburn Institute of Technology.


“I cannot wait to offer my students the chance to become Snap-on certified in Multimeter and Asset Management because of all the really useful information that I will use to become a better instructor.”

- Gayl Beals, Instructor, Grand Rapids Community College


“We were looking for a nationally known partner to raise the bar of our educational offerings, and our students were buying subpar tools. We partnered with Snap-on because we wanted to give our students a ‘leg up’ in their education and career.”

- Bryan Schiedler, Project Manager, Linn-Benton Community College
