Lincoln Tech Celebrates Donation of Student Lounge and Career Opportunities with Marriott Hotels International
January 19 2023 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, welcomed representatives from Marriott
Hotels International to its Marietta, GA campus on Thursday,
January 12th. The organizations cut the ribbon for the
Marriott-branded student lounge and celebrated the ongoing hiring
relationship to help Marriott build its workforce while providing
amazing career opportunities to Lincoln graduates. Starting with
Lincoln’s Atlanta-area campus, with expansion to two additional
campuses planned for later this spring, the partnership will also
provide part-time work opportunities for Lincoln Tech’s Electrical
and HVAC students during their training.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our campus and our
students, and we’re thankful to Marriott for their interest in
working with Lincoln Tech to build their workforce,” says Scott
Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO. “With the skills gap
impacting hiring managers’ ability to identify and retain skilled
workers in the HVAC and Electrical trades, we look forward to
helping one of the world’s best-known hospitality brands address
their hiring challenges.”
The January 12th event included the inauguration of the new
Marriott International Campus Lounge. Campus President Chris Biddle
says the lounge “brings some of Marriott’s famous comfort to our
campus.”
“We’re proud to work with such a well-respected global
organization and we hope to be able to fill their hiring needs for
years to come,” Biddle says. “It’s exciting to lay this foundation
for a growing, mutually beneficial relationship.”
Biddle notes that Marriott has been a consistent, supportive
presence on the Lincoln Tech campus, taking part in career fairs,
presenting exclusive programs to students, and providing soft
skills training crucial for future Marriott careers. Marriott has
also welcomed Lincoln Tech students during field trips to local
properties, giving future technicians the chance to see commercial
equipment in action – an experience, Biddle says, that’s invaluable
in helping students envision their future careers.
“Marriott always rolls out the red carpet for our students,” he
says. “They’ve really embraced the opportunity to help motivate
students about what their futures can hold career-wise.”
Marriott’s Vice President of Engineering and Facilities
Operations, Nick Woollen, attended the inauguration, along with Jim
Obermaier, Marriott’s Area Director of Engineering and Facilities.
Anthony Baglio, Director of Facilities Services for Marriott Select
Brand & Full Service Hotels, was also on hand to receive
Lincoln Tech’s Pride in Partnership Corporate Award from Biddle.
Biddle noted Baglio’s instrumental role in overseeing the work by
Marriott’s Atlanta Engineering Business Council to refurbish
Lincoln Tech’s lounge, creating a more inviting learning
environment for the students.
“I’m very proud to be a part of this partnership,” Baglio says.
“We’re looking forward to creating this same partnership and
atmosphere at Lincoln Tech schools across the country.”
“We have an amazing relationship with Lincoln Tech,” adds
Obermaier. “Over the years I’ve worked with several Lincoln alumni,
and they are some of the best engineers Marriott has.”
The relationship between Lincoln Tech and Marriott will give
current Lincoln students the opportunity to work part-time at
Marriott-branded hotels while they complete their training. Upon
graduation, new HVAC and Electrical/Electronic Systems Technicians
may be recruited for full-time career paths within Marriott.
Nearly 1.2 million job openings are projected for entry-level
HVAC Technicians and Electricians across the country over the next
10 years*. With Marriott hotels continuing to remain among the most
popular among travelers, new facilities along with existing
properties are expected to need a steady influx of new talent for
these critical hands-on positions.
Lincoln Tech’s Marietta campus has been training and graduating
skilled technicians for more than 20 years. There is a planned
expansion of the Marriott opportunity to Lincoln Tech’s Union, NJ
and Columbia, MD campuses by the second quarter of 2023.
* Career growth projections can be found at onetonline.org for
the years 2021-2031 and are current as of January 17, 2023.
