Lincoln Tech Opens New Atlanta Campus; Grand Opening Takes Place May 9th
May 03 2024 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, will officially open its new campus in East
Point, GA. A Grand Opening will be held on Thursday, May 9th
beginning at 12PM. Industry representatives, local hiring partners,
and regional political officials, including Georgia State Senator
Sonya Halpern and East Point Mayor Deana Holiday Ingraham, are also
expected to attend. The campus is Lincoln’s second in the Atlanta
area.
The East Point campus will provide career training programs in
Automotive Service Technology, Electrical and Electronic Systems
Technology, Welding and Metal Fabrication Technology, and Air
Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating (HVAC) Technology. These
fields are projected to add more than 100,000 jobs across Georgia
by 2030*. Associate degree-granting Service Management programs
will also be available for students looking to further their career
opportunities after graduation.
Graduates of the campus will also have the ability to apply for
advanced career training opportunities with Lincoln Tech partners
such as Tesla, Mazda, Peterbilt, Republic Services, Johnson
Controls International, Hussmann Refrigeration, and the Food
Processing Suppliers Association.
Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO Scott Shaw says the campus will
play a major role in expanded career opportunities for graduates as
well as in building the state’s workforce for these in-demand
fields.
“For many years there has been a demonstrated need for skilled,
trained professionals in these industries,” Shaw says. “The gap
between the skills needed to fill these roles, and the skills held
by many of today’s job seekers, threatens to slow productivity and
economic growth – and we’ve heard that same sentiment from our
employer partners. Today, with the grand opening of our new East
Point campus, Lincoln Tech is proud to take the lead in training a
new generation of workers who can revitalize the workforce in these
fields.”
“The Atlanta market holds tremendous potential for students from
across the region, and for the employers who will look to hire them
upon graduation,” says Campus President Don Lane. “It’s an exciting
opportunity for us to continue serving this market, where we’ve had
a presence in Marietta for over 20 years. The East Point campus
will introduce new programs and open new career paths for our
students.”
The opening of the new campus will not impact the Marietta
campus, located north of Atlanta. The Marietta campus, which can
serve as many as 270 students at a time, will continue to provide
career training in healthcare support fields, along with electrical
and HVAC programs. The new, larger East Point campus will
accommodate as many as 700 students, providing training
opportunities for students from the city and south thanks to its
location near Interstate 85.
