LINCOLN TECH INSTRUCTOR SELECTED FOR ACCREDITING BODY HONOR
September 09 2021 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75
years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical
training, announces that Automotive Technology instructor Ken Young
will receive the Commitment to Education Award from the
Accreditation Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
The award is scheduled to be presented at this month’s ACCSC
Professional Development Conference in Reston, VA.
“All of the Lincoln Tech family who know Mr. Young can attest to
his commitment and passion for educating our students,” says Scott
Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO. “We congratulate him on
receiving this recognition from ACCSC, and extend our deepest
thanks for his continued dedication and service.”
The Commitment to Education Award recognizes the efforts of an
ACCSC Member School instructor who provides outstanding
contributions in support of the school’s mission, its
students, and the community that it serves. Young has taught at
Lincoln Tech’s Melrose Park, IL campus for more than 26 years,
guiding and teaching the next generation of Automotive
Technicians.
“It’s a privilege to be a teacher,” says Young. “At the same
time, the learning never stops – even when you’re an instructor.
Every day I’m learning something new.”
“Throughout Mr. Young’s tenure he has changed the lives of
hundreds of students,” says Karen Clark, President of the Melrose
Park campus. “His positive impact on our students and graduates
cannot be overstated. He knows how to capture a student’s attention
and engage them in a way that is very special. This award is
well-deserved, and we’re proud that a member of the Melrose Park
family will be represented at the ACCSC Conference.”
At the beginning of each new class, Young asks students to write
a short introduction of themselves so he can assess each student’s
skill and experience. He gets to know his students as individuals
and learns what motivates them, then delivers his instruction in a
way that helps each one reach their potential.
“I love my students and care for them like family,” he says. “As
a student myself, I can remember specific instructors who really
cared, who took me aside and showed me what I needed to do to
succeed. Having a mentor means everything, and I try to be that for
them as well.”
“Mr. Young is one of best Automotive teachers at Lincoln Tech,”
says Derek Deddo, one of Young’s former students. “He genuinely
cares for the students and makes learning so much fun. The ACCSC
award is most definitely deserved – he wants everyone to succeed
and that’s what really sets him apart as a teacher.”
Young is a 1981 graduate of Denver Auto-Diesel College in
Colorado – a school that later became Lincoln College of
Technology, part of the Lincoln Tech family of schools.
