MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Educational
Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC) announced that Lincoln Tech in Mahwah, NJ has received a third
grant from the Gene Haas Foundation to promote career training for
computerized manufacturing at its campus. On Thursday, October 6, representatives of the Haas
Foundation presented the school with a check for $50,000 – bringing its three-year total to
$130,000 – as part of its mission to
promote hands-on training for 21st century manufacturing
careers.
Lincoln Tech's CNC (Computer
Numerical Control) Machining and Manufacturing Technology program
helps aspiring manufacturing professionals build experience working
with the computer-driven equipment at the heart of today's
industry. Haas Automation, Inc. is a leading national
provider of CNC equipment and was instrumental in helping the
program launch in 2013.
"We're grateful to Haas for the continued support they've shown
for our CNC manufacturing program – including their sponsorship of
the Haas Technology Center on our campus," says Joe Bellucci, Director of Education at
Lincoln Tech in Mahwah. "We're
proud to call them our partners as we develop the next generation
of CNC manufacturing professionals."
The check was presented during Lincoln
Tech's observance of National Manufacturing Day, a day
marked each October to promote education and awareness around the
modern manufacturing industry. More than a dozen hiring
managers from area manufacturing companies were on hand to tour the
campus and meet current students nearing graduation from the
school's CNC program.
Presenting the check was Neil
McGill, Director of Operations for Allendale Machining, the
local Haas Factory Outlet. He cited Lincoln Tech's CNC program as critical to building
the region's manufacturing workforce. With almost 3,000
positions projected to open in the field by 2024 across
New York and New Jersey, training programs like the one
offered at Lincoln Tech provide
employers with a steady flow of qualified, skilled operators for
their CNC equipment.
"What a farmer doesn't grow, a machinist makes," says
Luis Vendrell, Corporate Director of
Product Development at Lincoln Tech. "The CNC Manufacturing
industry requires both skilled line-workers to operate CNC
machines, and automation programmers that direct the manufacturing
process. Training at Lincoln Tech
can prepare you for these careers."
CNC machines are used in factories producing components for the
healthcare, automotive and aviation industries, the military,
electronics companies, and a wide range of other industries.
The equipment creates parts from materials including steel,
aluminum, wood and more.
Lincoln Tech's Mahwah campus is accredited by the Accrediting
Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), an agency
recognized nationally by the United States Department of
Education.

years 2014-2024.
