i want to be future ready. i want control. i want an i.

The advent of e-Business has created new demands on business applications and new challenges for companies and their information technology departments. Current systems are too expensive to replace, but unable to meet the expectations created by e-business. Programmers need a new set of skills to solve today's business challenges--a set of skills that can be attained through Gateway's Programmer-Analyst Associate Degree program.

Gateway Technical College offers training in one of the most popular platforms used by business today—the IBM iSeries/i5…now called System i5. Gateway is a key player in the IBM Academic Initiative, bringing the college together with IBM and IBM System i5 users. Gateway’s program is geared to both the new Programmer-Analyst student and the seasoned programmer seeking to enhance their skill set using the latest technology.

The goal of the Academic Initiative is to develop and enhance iSeries skills to meet the hiring needs of the business community. In order to achieve this goal, the IBM Academic Initiative makes it easier for faculty and researchers to access IBM software, hardware, technologies and educational resources for teaching and research. Gateway faculty can better prepare students for the challenging job market with iSeries skills to launch a career in the new era of e-business on demand.
