NEW JERSEY & LOCAL COMMUNITIES CELEBRATE LINCOLN TECH’S 75 YEARS OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
August 17 2021 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), founded in
Newark, NJ as a premier destination for hands-on career training,
is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2021. More than 400,000
students around the country have graduated from Lincoln Tech
schools during that time – and no state has seen more graduates, or
is home to more Lincoln Tech campuses, than New Jersey.
Lincoln schools have recently been honored by local and state
officials through a series of campus events which featured the
readings of proclamations citing decades of service by Lincoln Tech
to students and local communities. Campuses in Iselin, Mahwah,
Moorestown, Paramus, South Plainfield and Union were honored by
mayors, city council members, graduates, employer partners and
other community leaders. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy recognized
Lincoln Tech’s contributions in a formal letter to the school’s
corporate headquarters in Parsippany.
“For more than seven decades,” Murphy wrote, “Lincoln
Technical Institute has remained committed
to providing education and career training
programs in New Jersey that offer
students the skills and supportive services needed
to gain access to in-demand careers. As Governor, l
commend the administrators, faculty, and all those
associated with Lincoln Technical Institute, for the endless
contributions made to individuals, industries, and communities
across our Great State.”
“We are proud of our roots as a New Jersey-based career training
leader, and grateful to all who have come out in support of our
campuses,” says Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO.
“Seventy-five years is a milestone worth celebrating, as are the
thousands of graduates who have passed through our schools to help
grow and shape the state’s workforce. Each graduate has had a
unique impact on the growth and success of the employer who hired
them, and as a result, we’re equally proud to have assisted so many
businesses during that time.”
“The careers our graduates have launched,” Shaw adds, “have
helped pave the way to better futures for themselves and for the
families. Combined with those graduates’ impact on the workforce,
Lincoln Tech schools have enriched entire communities across the
state. It’s humbling for us as an organization when leaders and
legislators help spotlight our schools’ history and successes.”
“Local administrators and state legislators have been eager to
show their support of our milestone accomplishment,” says Frank
Galindo, Lincoln Tech’s AVP of Public Relations and Stakeholder
Engagement. “They have drawn up citations, proclamations, and
letters recognizing our efforts. We are proud to serve the people
of this state, helping them obtain the education and skills
necessary to grab their piece of the American Dream. We will
continue to support our local and state governments, the
communities we serve, and the businesses and industry partners who
depend on us to provide them with the talent they so desperately
need.”
Founded in 1946 in Newark’s historic Ironbound district, Lincoln
Tech began as a school training returning servicemen from World War
II. The campus helped these veterans transition their military
skills into hands-on career skills, starting with the heating and
air conditioning industry. In the years that followed, Lincoln
expanded its presence across the country, providing career training
for the auto, diesel, healthcare, I.T., culinary, and cosmetology
industries, along with skilled trades such as HVAC, electrical,
welding, and computerized manufacturing.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor
Statistics projects tens of thousands of openings in these combined
areas. These fields are impacted by the national “skills gap” – the
lack of candidates with job skills to fill highly specialized
roles, which prevents employers from filling open positions and
workers from qualifying for in-demand careers.
