School Partnerships’ Spotlight

Meet Norman Kim-Senior, the Director of Externships and Spanish teacher at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia.

In May 2023, Gateway trained and placed Episcopal’s student in a medical internship with Fairfax Clinic and ProHealth Medical Center. The student won the Episcopal’s Externship Award out of 350 graduating students. In 2024, we are expanding our partnership to support 125 seniors and faculty members.

How do you think Gateway’s partnership benefits students, faculties, and the school?

Because Gateway is closer to the employer, you are closer to the immediate challenges that they're facing. You have a set of information that we don't have. I'm hoping that you can bridge that information gap and ensure that all the good intention, love, and passion that exists on campus for students is being appropriately directed. When I introduce a business or a person into Episcopal, it needs to be someone and a company that can honor that. You’re coming to be a part of our family.

Meet Dr. Jim Egenrieder, College of Engineering Research Faculty & Director of Virginia Tech Thinkabit Labs STEM Education and Workforce Development programs (part of the Virginia Tech’s Center for Enhancement of Engineering Diversity).

Since July 2023, the Virginia Tech Thinkabit Labs has been hosting four Gateway interns to conduct STEM research projects, increasing the capacity for Dr. Egenrieder to mentor students remotely.

Gateway and Virginia Tech are partnering as semi-finalists in the Department of Education’s Career Z Challenge to expand work-based learning for over 3,000 high school students.
