Lincoln Tech’s Denver Campus Partners with Ford Dealership, Expands Graduate Career Opportunities
March 09 2021 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75
years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical
training, has announced the launch of a new partnership program at
its Denver, Colorado campus. Groove Ford of Aurora, CO, will
sponsor the Ford Automotive Career Exploration (ACE) program, which
gives selected Lincoln Tech students unique, in-depth exposure to
careers with Ford Motor Company.
“We’re pleased to partner with Groove Ford in creating new
pathways to rewarding careers for our students and graduates,” says
Dr. Kelly Moore, President of the Denver campus. “The ACE program
will give students an exciting and informative look at Ford Motor
Company, including their rich history and the hands-on skills
graduates will need to start careers with this iconic American
brand.”
Ford Motor Company will fund the training program for accepted
students from Lincoln Tech’s Automotive Technology program. In
addition, completing the web-based Ford ACE courses will help
students earn up to 50% of Ford’s web-based training – putting them
ahead of the curve if they choose to pursue a career at a Ford or
Lincoln dealership after graduation.
“All of our Automotive Technology graduates enter the workforce
with the skills required to break into the industry,” Moore says.
“Completing the ACE program will position them as advanced
candidates for technician career opportunities with one of the
nation’s leading employers.”
Last year more than 90 Automotive Technology graduates from the
Denver campus entered the Automotive Technology field, beginning
careers with many of the world’s best-known manufacturers.
Graduates now have a direct line to opportunities with Ford after
completing courses specific to Ford technology on its new vehicle
models, inspection processes, and proprietary technologies for
electrical, suspension and brake systems. Students will also have
access to a subset of Ford’s own eLearning courses, and credits
earned on these courses can be used later towards certifications
for career advancement within Ford Motors.
Graduates can pursue career opportunities at more than 3,200
Ford dealerships across the country – including Groove Ford, where
Service Manager Bijan Barzideh is a graduate of Lincoln Tech’s
Denver campus.
“Groove Ford is excited to partner with Lincoln Tech and build
the next generation of Ford technicians,” Barzideh says. “With
the help of Lincoln Tech, I was able to enter the automotive
industry and work my way up to Service Manager at Groove
Ford. I look forward to seeing the new shining stars we get
from this partnership and the future Ford Senior Master Technicians
to come.”
The Denver campus is a leading career training destination for
students from across the country. In addition to Automotive
Technology, the campus also offers career training opportunities in
Diesel and Truck Technology, Alternative Fuels, Collision Repair
and Refinishing Technology, HVAC and Welding.
