The Corporate and Continuing Education Department is comprised of four distinct areas:
Business and Industry Services
The Office of Business and Industry Services provides training for business, industry and state and municipal agencies in the Gateway Community College service area. The department has access to the resources of the statewide Community College Business and Industry Services Network. Gateway Community College has developed a number of key relationships with area companies and service agencies and has contracted uniquely-designed credit and non-credit offerings for their employees. We can do the same for you.
