LINCOLN TECH CAMPUSES NAMED TOP SCHOOLS BY DAIMLER TRUCKS
June 17 2021 - 8:15AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75
years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical
training, has announced that two of its Lincoln Tech campuses have
been named top schools by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA). The
South Plainfield, NJ and Denver, CO campuses were ranked sixth and
sixteenth, respectively.
DTNA’s Get Ahead partnership program gives students training for
Diesel Technology careers the opportunity to build advanced skills
with manufacturer-specific technology. By supporting students in
their pursuit of these careers, the program helps ensure Daimler’s
facilities have enough qualified candidates to fill open positions
and keep their operations running at optimum capacity.
More than 270 schools across the country participate in Get
Ahead, but only 60 are chosen by DTNA for ranking. Selection as a
top school entitles each campus to participate in one of two
exclusive programs: Trucks for Training, which enables campuses to
purchase a pre-owned Freightliner vehicle at a significant
discount; or Training Aids for Schools, which offers similar
discounts for the purchase of DTNA training equipment. Depending on
the program selected, DTNA and/or a sponsoring Daimler Dealership
will share the costs with the campus.
“It’s exciting and an honor to have two of our campuses selected
by DTNA for this prestigious recognition,” says Steve Buchenot,
Lincoln Tech’s Executive Vice President of Campus Operations. “We
thank DTNA for their support of our career training programs and
providing this added value to our students. And we’re proud to know
our programs, faculty and staff have once again been recognized by
an industry leader.”
Lincoln Tech’s South Plainfield campus was previously designated
a Get Ahead partner school in 2019. Students were then provided
with access to web-based Daimler training at no additional
cost.
“Get Ahead allows our Diesel Technology students to participate
in Daimler dealership-level training,” explains Tim O’Connor,
Lincoln Tech’s Director of Education at the South Plainfield
campus. “Students can strengthen their knowledge of basic skills
and increase their knowledge on Freightliner, Detroit Diesel and
Western Star Systems. This program benefits both Lincoln Tech
students and Daimler’s service network.”
O’Connor adds that this is the third consecutive year that the
South Plainfield campus was selected for the Get Ahead program.
“With the program becoming more popular across the country, and our
relative small size compared to many of the competitors, our
selection truly reflects the quality of our curriculum and the
skill of our instructors,” he says.
Lincoln Tech’s Denver campus was selected in its first year of
participation. “This was a great achievement for our program to be
selected from such a competitive field,” says Campus President
Kelly Moore. “We’re pleased to be a Top 20 school in our first
year, and plan to place even higher next year.”
More than 240,000 Diesel and Truck Technicians will be needed
around the country by 2029, according to the U.S. Department of
Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figures includes more than
20,000 in the New York-New Jersey region, and almost 6,000 in
Colorado.
