Gateway programs provide valuable training and job skills to those in need, quickly preparing them for entry-level employment.  Gateway is a proven, life-changing, transformational program that not only results in employment… Gateway gives people hope and confidence for a better future by setting them on a path toward stability, financial independence, and further education and training. 

For 16 years, Skillpoint Alliance and Austin Community College (ACC) have delivered the nationally-acclaimed Gateway Construction program and we now are working to expand the successful Gateway model to serve even more Central Texans:

• Gateway Electrical was launched in January 2010
• Gateway High School will begin in the 2010-11 school year with support from the Texas Pioneer Foundation
• Gateway Construction will be offered on ACC’s new Round Rock campus beginning in January 2011 with the support of the United Way of Williamson County
• Gateway Allied Health will launch September 2010 under a $500,000 grant from Texas Workforce Commission

As Skillpoint works with our partners to expand the successful Gateway model, the following critical elements will be incorporated into new Gateway programs:

• Training focused on high-demand careers
• Curricula directly linked to industry standards and resulting in industry-recognized credentials
• A portion of training delivered at ACC, enabling participants to see themselves as successful college students
• Work readiness training to impart the values, skills, and habits employers and life demand
• Strong partnerships with local businesses to facilitate the employment of Gateway graduates
