Lincoln Tech Expands its Partnership with the Peterbilt Technician Institute Offering Specialized Training at its Denver Campus
May 10 2024 - 9:32AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, has expanded its training partnership with
Peterbilt Motors Company to offer specialized diesel technician
training at its Denver, CO campus. The Peterbilt Technician
Institute (PTI) at Lincoln Tech will assist Lincoln graduates in
building additional skills for Peterbilt-specific equipment and
technologies, and in starting new careers at Peterbilt locations
across the country.
This is the second Lincoln Tech location to offer PTI training;
the program was introduced at Lincoln’s Nashville, TN campus last
spring.
“We’re excited to be able to expand our relationship with
Peterbilt to the Denver campus,” says Susan English, Lincoln Tech’s
Senior Vice President for Career Services and Industry
Partnerships. “It speaks to the quality of our training programs
and facilities that an employer of this caliber not only chooses to
partner with Lincoln Tech, but to invest further in that
partnership.”
In an effort to attract more students and grow their technician
workforce, Peterbilt dealerships will cover the cost of the 12-week
specialized training program for those accepted into the program.
The curriculum gives graduates of Lincoln’s Auto, Diesel and Heavy
Equipment Technology programs advanced training on systems ranging
from fuel and electrical to HVAC, suspensions and brakes.
Approximately 75% of the training is hands-on as students build
experience working with real Peterbilt trucks. Students will also
attend classroom sessions and complete web-based skill-building
activities.
“The partnership between PTI and Lincoln Tech was established in
2023 to enhance and expand service technician training
opportunities geographically. The Denver location is another access
point to train service technicians and increase the number of
candidates available to join the Peterbilt dealer network and
provide crucial skills to support Peterbilt customers,” said Danny
Landholm, Peterbilt director of dealer network development.
Upon completion of the advanced diesel program, students will
have earned nine factory-trained technician credentials, which can
help fast-track them to careers with more than 420 Peterbilt
dealerships nationwide.
