Lincoln Tech Announces Planned Opening of Hunter Training Center at Their Denver, CO Campus
May 16 2023 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, has announced a new collaboration with
Hunter Engineering, the leading name in the undercar service
industry. Lincoln Tech’s Denver campus will become the latest site
to house a Hunter Training Center, where students can train
directly on patented Hunter equipment. Local repair shops will also
have the opportunity to send technicians to Lincoln Tech to take
advantage of the equipment at the campus.
The Grand Opening of the Hunter Training Center at Lincoln Tech
is being planned for this summer.
“This is such an exciting opportunity not only for our students,
but for many of our employer partners in the Denver Metro area,”
says Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO. “The chance to
train on industry-standard equipment is a critical piece of any
career training component – and Lincoln Tech students have that
thanks to Hunter. They’ll be building skills to work on some of the
most advanced systems in today’s vehicles, and Lincoln Tech will be
one of a very select group of schools receiving this type of
equipment.”
“It’s also an honor to partner with a company whose roots lie in
service to our nation’s veterans,” Shaw adds. “Like Lincoln Tech,
Hunter was founded in 1946, just after World War II had come to a
close. Hunter’s founder was actually a returning veteran himself.
Lincoln Tech was established to provide career training to veterans
of that war. So there is a common passion here, a commitment, that
we feel truly binds our two organizations.”
Hunter Engineering produces auto service equipment for the
global market – equipment that includes computer-based wheel
alignment systems and tire changers, high-tech vehicle lifts,
automated inspection equipment and more. Many of its products –
including Quick Tread® tire scanning tools, the Quick Check®
alignment inspection system, the RX lift rack series, and DSP700T
heavy duty alignment sensors are patented inventions of Hunter team
members. As part of the partnership agreement, Hunter will provide
Lincoln Tech with several types of equipment, and training classes
will be led by Hunter instructors. The program is expected to focus
primarily on wheel alignment systems and service.
One particular piece of equipment will be unique to Lincoln
Tech. The campus will be the first school-based training center in
the country to house Hunter’s 35,000-pound, four-post, heavy-duty
vehicle lift. When the Hunter Training Center opens at Lincoln
Tech, it will be one of only 47 such facilities nationwide.
“We’re thrilled to be able to work with Lincoln Tech to bring
education and state-of-the-art equipment to technicians for this
ever-changing industry” says Steve Dawson, Regional Manager, Hunter
Engineering.
Graduates from the Hunter Training Center, which is open to
Lincoln Tech students from its auto and diesel programs across the
country, will be Hunter-certified and eligible to pursue career
opportunities where Hunter-specific skills are needed – which
includes thousands of private shops, franchised service centers and
fleet service facilities nationwide.
