[{"type":"text","content":"West Orange, NJ, March 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75 years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical training, has announced the launch of a new partnership program at its Denver, Colorado campus. Groove Ford of Aurora, CO, will sponsor the Ford Automotive Career Exploration (ACE) program, which gives selected Lincoln Tech students unique, in-depth exposure to careers with Ford Motor Company. “We’re pleased to partner with Groove Ford in creating new pathways to rewarding careers for our students and graduates,” says Dr. Kelly Moore, President of the Denver campus. “The ACE program will give students an exciting and informative look at Ford Motor Company, including their rich history and the hands-on skills graduates will need to start careers with this iconic American brand.” Ford Motor Company will fund the training program for accepted students from Lincoln Tech’s Automotive Technology program.

Students will also have access to a subset of Ford’s own eLearning courses, and credits earned on these courses can be used later towards certifications for career advancement within Ford Motors. Graduates can pursue career opportunities at more than 3,200 Ford dealerships across the country – including Groove Ford, where Service Manager Bijan Barzideh is a graduate of Lincoln Tech’s Denver campus. “Groove Ford is excited to partner w...
