WEST ORANGE, N.J., April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln
Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader
in specialized automotive and skilled trades career training, will
add robotics courses to its advanced manufacturing career training
program at the Mahwah, NJ campus
this spring. The Advanced Manufacturing with Robotics program
is supported by Haas Automation, and prepares students for careers
working with computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing
equipment.
Lincoln Tech's Mahwah campus – which features a partnership
with the NASA HUNCH program as part of its advanced manufacturing
program – is currently enrolling students for the program and will
begin offering this enhanced training option starting April 28th.
"As robots have grown more commonplace in modern manufacturing
processes, we know that employers continue to seek out candidates
with the unique programming skills to operate them," says
Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech's President and CEO. "We're
proud to now offer enhanced training that addresses that skills gap
and helps graduates discover faster routes to career
opportunities. Manufacturing in 2020 is a far cry from the
'factory work' of the 20th century, and it's exciting to
see robotics equipment becoming part of the Lincoln Tech curriculum."
The robotics-focused courses enhance a program that has been in
place at the campus since 2014. Featuring a new "Robotics in
the Workplace" course, the program continues its focus on skills
such as reading blueprints, making precision measurements, CNC
milling and turning, and advanced multi-axis machining. The
course enhancement will provide even greater opportunities for
building career skills that are in demand across today's
manufacturing industry.
"Robotics is not only here, but it's here to stay," says
Joe Bellucci, Lincoln Tech's Corporate Director of Product
Development. "We have surgeons operating on a patient
from a chair situated across the operating room, or even halfway
around the world. We have vacuum cleaners that do the routine task
of keeping our floors clean. This technology has found itself
embedding firmly into the manufacturing industry as robots are used
to complete mundane repetitive action which saves machinists from
the possibility of carpel tunnel syndrome and/or back
conditions."
"Robots also allow machine shops to be more productive by
operating around the clock with less human involvement. However,
these robots will not work without the people to maintain and
program them," Bellucci adds. "This is why at Lincoln Technical Institute we're launching this
new program – to respond to this very need."
