WEST ORANGE, N.J., May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training, including automotive technology, the skilled trades, healthcare, IT, culinary, and cosmetology, today announced that it has re-opened its Indianapolis, IN campus and resumed on-site instruction on a limited basis.
"On March 17th, in accordance with local and federal guidelines, we transitioned our campus' classroom instruction to remote, distance learning due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic," commented Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have worked closely with our regulators and local authorities to develop a re-opening plan with our primary objective being the health and safety of our students and staff. Initially we will be bringing back students in select programs and those nearing graduation who need the hands-on skills training to complete their education. We will gradually transition to full scale operations as is practical and allowed."
The Company has approximately 515 students currently enrolled at its Indianapolis campus, located at 7225 Winton Drive. Currently, 88% of those students are training for careers that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deems essential.
"We look forward to welcoming our students back to campus this week," says Brent Jenkins, President of the Indianapolis campus. "They've handled the adjustment to online learning expertly, and we thank our staff of instructors for the commitment they've shown in delivering the course content remotely. Now it's time to get as many students as we safely can back into our training bays and real-world facilities for the hands-on practice that marks the final phase of their education."
The campus has been a mainstay in Indiana's capital for almost 60 years. Located less than 10 miles from the home of the Indy 500, the school provides hands-on career training in the Automotive and Skilled Trades industries. Leading employers like Hussmann, Johnson Controls, and Haas Automation have chosen the campus to provide partnership training programs that increase career opportunities for graduates. Certificate, diploma, and degree-granting program options are available, and on-campus career fairs attract some of the best-known companies to its campus to meet, interview, and recruit Lincoln Tech graduates.
