New Horizons in Career Training at Lincoln Tech
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a veteran in technical education for over three-quarters of a century, is cranking up its engine with fresh career training initiatives. Set against the backdrop of Moorestown, NJ, they're rolling out new programs aimed squarely at tackling the talent drought in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating Systems (HVAC) Technology and Electrical and Electronic Systems Technology (EEST).
Bridging the Skills Gap
The Moorestown campus isn't just another educational facility; it's been a linchpin for skilled trades training within the Trenton-Camden nexus for over ten years. With more than 30,000 job openings looming large in HVAC and electrical sectors across New Jersey, there's an urgent call to action. Lincoln Tech's mission? To gear up aspiring tradespeople who can fill these vital roles in an economy that’s increasingly tech-driven.
Hands-On Learning Meets Theory
At the core of these programs lies a robust blend of classroom instruction paired with real-world practical training—essential for students looking to hit the ground running. The HVAC track unfolds over one year, packed with 1200 instructional hours focusing heavily on experiential learning. Students will get down to business with Hampden trainers designed to mimic actual job environments, honing skills in commercial refrigeration and advanced heating system troubleshooting.
Diving into EEST Career Paths
Akin to the HVAC course structure, EEST training opens doors to numerous avenues—from residential electricians to maintenance technicians in high-tech industries like telecommunications. It’s not just about wiring or circuit boards; it equips learners with skills necessary for entry-level jobs while also touching on specializations that can arise in dynamic fields such as entertainment.
Collaborations That Matter
Graduates leaving either program won’t be wandering aimlessly through job postings; they’ll have direct pathways laid out through manufacturer-sponsored training opportunities with industry giants like Hussmann Refrigeration and Johnson Controls International. These firms are keen on sourcing fresh talent from Lincoln’s graduates—often covering relocation expenses which makes transitioning into full-time roles less burdensome.
The Grand Opening: Mark Your Calendars
If you’re curious about what Lincoln Tech has lined up or interested in entering these booming fields yourself, their grand opening event is set to take place:
- Date: September 27th
- Time: 10 am - 2 pm
- Location: Lincoln Tech’s Moorestown Campus, 308 W. Route 38, Moorestown, NJ 08057
A lineup of keynote speakers—including Scott Shaw, President & CEO—will shine a spotlight on why skilled trades are essential now more than ever.
The Legacy of Lincoln Educational Services Corporation
This company isn't new on the scene—it’s been shaping the future workforce since its inception back in 1946! With operations spanning across various states under multiple brands including Lincoln Technical Institute and Lincoln College of Technology, they've positioned themselves as serious contenders in delivering specialized education aimed at filling crucial skill gaps across diverse fields like automotive and health sciences.
