WEST ORANGE, N.J., June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Tech's
Grand Prairie, TX campus has
served as a training site for BMW North America's Service
Technician Education Program (STEP) since
2013. Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), parent company of Lincoln Tech,
announces that the campus has now launched its first program for
MINI STEP. Lincoln Tech in Grand
Prairie will serve as the nation's only training site for
MINI STEP.
"Having enjoyed an excellent relationship with BMW North America
for many years, we feel our selection as their exclusive
educational provider for MINI STEP training speaks to the quality
of the technicians our campus produces for their dealerships around
the country," says Lincoln's President and CEO Scott Shaw. "Adding MINI STEP to
Lincoln Tech opens another door to new
careers for our students, and we're excited for the opportunity to
offer it in Grand Prairie."
The MINI brand is one of the fastest-growing segments in the
auto industry, with a loyal fan base that rivals industry
powerhouses like Mustang and Corvette. Through MINI STEP,
Lincoln Tech Automotive Technology students can start on their way
to careers with MINI in a program that's paid for by MINI
USA: if they meet the terms of the
enrollment agreement, students are responsible only for travel and
housing costs if they're relocating from elsewhere in the
country. After completing the 16-week MINI STEP, graduates
can qualify as Level 1 Technicians and pursue positions at MINI
dealerships around the country.
Training includes hands-on experience working with MINI
diagnostic codes, brake systems, electrical systems, on-board
computers and more. The program will receive dedicated space
in the Lincoln Tech auto bays, and MINI
will provide vehicles to be used in class.
"We're proud to now offer MINI training to students from
Texas and around the country,"
says Grand Prairie Campus President Mike
Couling. "MINI is a growing, exciting brand and
they're producing some very advanced vehicles that require
uniquely-skilled technicians for maintenance. We're honored
to have been chosen as one of the first sites in the country to
train those future technicians, and we look forward to helping MINI
build its workforce."
