Gillette College is a two-year community college in Gillette, Wyoming. The college is the eighth and newest community college in the state of Wyoming, separating from the Northern Wyoming Community College District in August of 2021.[2] The newly formed independent community college is led by Chairman Josh McGrath[3] and President Dr. Janell Oberlander.[4] The college offers Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, as well as certificate and applied science programs that prepare students for skilled trades such as welding and industrial electricity.[5]

While the newly formed independent institution seeks its own accreditation, it remains partnered to NWCCD to offer accredited degrees and certifications to students.[6]
