Lincoln Educational
Services, one of the top post-secondary technical educators in the country,
catering to recent high school grads and working adults with career-oriented
programs of study in key areas like automotive, business, the health sciences,
information technology, and skilled trades, was pleased to announce today that
their Lincoln Technical Institute campus in Mahwah, NJ was specially chosen by
Chrysler to make available their Mopar X-Press apprentice program, which
teaches specialized technical skills related to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM
vehicles.
Mopar X-Press coming to the
campus is a clear indication of the quality of the students Lincoln has to
offer and when such a big name manufacturer like this specifically selects an
educational institution as a partner for this program, it is a very strong
endorsement of the students technical proficiency/aptitude and is rather like
proactive headhunting for new talent by Chrysler, as many of these students
will likely go on to join their teams in the near future. Securing the (highly
advantageous to students) program is a real coup for LINC too, which prides
itself on being a driving force in the lives of its students, helping them to
turn their passions into meaningful, achievable career goals.
A key aspect of the program
is the opportunity to train under a Chrysler Master Technician, getting to
really learn the inside tips and tricks of the Mopar catalog and develop highly
specialized skills in the more advanced technologies at play, all while earning
a specialized Automotive Technology certificate. The Mopar X-Press program
involves 120 hours of direct work at one of the dealerships, where students get
a ton of applied, hands-on work experience in a professional setting and this
process also gives Chrysler an opportunity to skim the cream off the top of the
talent pool, snatching up the best and brightest technicians in the country.
Mahwah Campus President, Jay
Rasmussen, proud to have been selected by Chrysler, emphasized that Lincoln’s
programs are significantly enhanced via such manufacturer partnerships and that
these opportunities represent some of the hottest and most exciting vectors for
the students as well. Sentiments echoed resoundingly by President of the
Lincoln Group, Deborah Ramentol, who went on to underscore the fact that
Chrysler’s decision to bring the program to the campus was due primarily to the
exceptional quality of the student body.
This is just the latest
milestone for LINC it seems, as the company continues aggressively establishing
new partnerships and programs like this around the nation, ever seeking to
effectively arm workers with the tools they need to meet the demands of
employers. The Mahwah campus offers a variety of other advantages to students
as well, like an Automotive Technology program with BMW FastTrack option, which
allows students to train at the BMW Training Center in nearby Woodcliff Lake,
as well as other cutting-edge programs in the areas of Automotive Mechanics,
HVAC, and the latest Electronic Systems Technology.
The 79k square foot, 16-bay
(with rotator lifts), fully functioning auto shop facility at the Mahwah campus
also has a fleet of 20 vehicles available (including hybrids) for students to
work with and the students get all the necessary secondary skill training from
LINC as well before being sent out to achieve, like time management and
financial literacy. Moreover, students receive career search and placement
assistance, ensuring that not only are they able to capitalize fully on their
training, but that LINC continues to maintain its sterling reputation for
graduating and placing some of the most skilled technicians in the country, a
reputation which they have enjoyed since shortly after inception, way back in
1946.
With 33 campuses and five training
sites across 15 states, LINC has put together a seriously impressive technical
skills-focused, career-focused education platform and this latest announcement
reinforces the company’s strong lead in the sector.
