The State Higher Vocational School in Gniezno was established on 1  July 2004 on the basis of the resolution of the Council of Ministers of 22 June 2004 (Journal of Laws No. 150, item 1572).

The school meets the needs of local circles and develops the creativity of future participants of social and economic life.
