Lincoln Tech Expands Tesla Collaboration Training to Columbia, MD Campus
August 24 2023 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, has announced the expansion of the START
program with Tesla, the world leader in electric vehicle (EV)
production, to its campus in Columbia, MD. A Tesla training
facility has been established at the Columbia campus as part of an
ongoing agreement to help train the next generation of Tesla’s
service technician workforce.
Tesla START training is provided at no cost to eligible students
who will also receive an hourly stipend throughout their training.
The specialized training program is open to Automotive graduates
from any of Lincoln Tech’s campuses. The first class for the
16-week START program is scheduled to begin on Monday, August
28th.
“Lincoln Tech recognizes the value of providing advanced EV
training opportunities to our students,” says Scott Shaw, Lincoln
Tech’s President and CEO. “We enjoyed a successful launch of Tesla
START training at our Denver campus last year, and we’re excited to
now have an opportunity on the east coast for students seeking to
build this level of advanced career skills.”
Shaw adds, “Our intention at Lincoln Tech is to become the
leading provider of EV Automotive Technology training. Broadening
our partnership with the brand driving the EV industry is an
invaluable step toward reaching that goal.”
Lincoln Tech’s Columbia campus has converted approximately 6,000
square feet in its Automotive training facility to a Tesla-specific
training center. Tesla is providing tools, equipment, and charging
stations – along with training vehicles.
Following completion of Tesla START, graduates may be recruited
for positions at Tesla service centers across North America. Tesla
will also provide a relocation bonus for new hires.
In addition to EV technicians, Tesla also seeks to build their
workforce for the service and maintenance of their solar and energy
systems – a potential fit for graduates of Lincoln’s Electrical and
Electronic Systems Technology program at the Columbia campus and
several other locations across the country.
The Tesla EV training program is available to Lincoln Tech
graduates from all its Automotive Technology campuses across the
country: Denver, CO; Columbia, MD; East Windsor, CT; Grand Prairie,
TX; Indianapolis, IN; Mahwah and Union, NJ; Melrose Park, IL;
Nashville, TN; Philadelphia, PA; and Queens, NY. Overall, the U.S.
Department of Labor projects almost 700,000 openings across the
country – including more than 12,000 in Maryland alone – for
skilled, trained auto technicians by 2030*.
* Career growth projections can be found at onetonline.org for
the years 2020-2030 and are current as of April 13, 2023.
