WHITESTONE, QUEENS, N.Y., Aug. 20,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Tech (NASDAQ: LINC), a
national leader in career training, recently announced a
partnership with Mazda North American Operations. The
automaker's dealer body will have the opportunity to recruit
Automotive Technician students as they near completion of their
training, and students hired by Mazda will be eligible for a number
of attractive benefits. Mazda has donated vehicles and
training equipment to the Queens
campus as part of the agreement and will provide additional new
vehicles in the coming weeks.
Lincoln Tech is only the second
school in the world to offer this unique technician training
opportunity. Through the partnership, Mazda dealers will
provide eligible new hires with student loan repayment, a
guaranteed living wage, and one-on-one mentorship with senior Mazda
technicians. The program was formally announced at
Lincoln Tech's Queens campus with several Mazda executives on
hand, both from Hiroshima, Japan
and Mazda North American Operations. Lincoln Tech's President and CEO Scott Shaw also addressed the 250 students and
guests in attendance.
"There's a shortage of qualified auto technicians all across the
nation," Shaw says. "We're excited and grateful to Mazda for
entering into this partnership with our Queens campus. Our students will benefit
through loan repayment and the mentorship experience; the campus
will benefit from donated vehicles and equipment provided by Mazda;
and we're confident that Mazda will benefit from the graduates that
go to work for their dealerships."
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics New York is projected to have more than 40,000 openings
for automotive technicians by 2026, while on a national level the
number exceeds 750,000 openings during that time.
