Lincoln Tech Students Selected for Cummins Technician Apprenticeship Program
16 December 2020 - 12:00AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75
years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical
training, today announced the selection of two students this fall
to receive full tuition reimbursement by diesel engine manufacturer
Cummins Inc. The students, both enrolled at Lincoln Tech’s
Indianapolis, IN campus, are pursuing careers in Diesel and Truck
Technology through a training program supported in part by Cummins
equipment donations.
“Cummins has long been a valued partner and supporter of our
Diesel Technology programs across the country,” says Scott
Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO. “We're especially
grateful to them for the financial support they are providing
our students, particularly at this time of uncertainty for so many
families in America. Cummins’ generosity through the Tuition
Assistance Program will have a profound impact on the lives of our
students, and provide a tremendous start to their careers.”
In a virtual ceremony November 13, representatives from Cummins
Inc. congratulated students Annika “Niki” Rasband and Charles Moran
on their selection to receive full tuition reimbursement. In
addition, Rasband and Moran are eligible to take part in paid
internships at Cummins’ Indianapolis Sales & Service facility,
and, if offered full-time employment upon completion of their
training, can also receive a $2,000 toll allotment.
“Cummins is excited for the opportunity to help Ms. Rasband and
Mr. Moran continue their education in the diesel technology
industry,” says Kenneth Hurst, Area Manager for Cummins’
Indianapolis branch. “This investment in their training and in
their future careers will be a contributing factor to their
long-term success.”
To be eligible for the award, students were required to not only
maintain an excellent GPA and attendance in an Associate Degree
program; they were also asked to demonstrate character and a
commitment to their communities by performing at least four hours
of community service. “These values are reflective of a philosophy
shared by both Lincoln Tech and Cummins,” says Shaw. “Both
organizations are committed to supporting the communities we serve,
and the communities that are so vital to our success.”
Applicants were required to submit their current transcript,
resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal essay
detailing their reasons for pursuing careers in the diesel
industry.
Cummins’ support of students entering the field has been
ongoing, but in 2019 the organization formally launched the Youth
Technician Apprenticeship Program in partnership with the Area 31
Career Center at Ben Davis high School in Indianapolis. Rasband and
Moran both graduated from the Area 31 program earlier this year
before enrolling at Lincoln Tech.
By 2029 nearly 250,000 diesel technicians are projected to be
hired across the country, according the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than 8,000 of those are expected
to be needed in Indiana.
In 2021 Lincoln Tech will celebrate 75 years as America’s
leading career training provider. Since 1946, more than half a
million graduates have gone on to launch rewarding careers
throughout the nation.
