[{"type":"text","content":"South Plainfield, NJ and Denver, CO campuses chosen as 2 of top 60 schools nationwide\nParsippany, NJ, June 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75 years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical training, has announced that two of its Lincoln Tech campuses have been named top schools by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA). The South Plainfield, NJ and Denver, CO campuses were ranked sixth and sixteenth, respectively. DTNA’s Get Ahead partnership program gives students training for Diesel Technology careers the opportunity to build advanced skills with manufacturer-specific technology. By supporting students in their pursuit of these careers, the program helps ensure Daimler’s facilities have enough qualified candidates to fill open positions and keep their operations running at optimum capacity. More than 270 schools across the country participate in Get Ahead, but only 60 are chosen by DTNA for ranking.

And we’re proud to know our programs, faculty and staff have once again been recognized by an industry leader.” Lincoln Tech’s South Plainfield campus was previously designated a Get Ahead partner school in 2019. Students were then provided with access to web-based Daimler training at no additional cost. “Get Ahead allows our Diesel Technology students to participate in Daimler dealership-level training,” explains Tim O’Connor, Lincoln Tech’s Director of Education at the South Plainfield campus. “Students can strengthen their knowledge of basic skills and increase their knowledge on Freightliner, Detroit Diesel and Western Star Systems...
