Lincoln Tech Specialized Training Program Achieves Over 90% Job Placement Rate for Graduates - Seite 2

“We spread the word to Thermo King locations around the country that partnering with Lincoln Tech is a smart decision,” says Commaroto – whose son is also a Lincoln Tech graduate, and now works for Thermo King East as a Service Manager. “We’ve always had good luck with Lincoln graduates. It’s common knowledge through Thermo King that Lincoln Tech has quality training programs you can’t find at other schools.”

Commaroto cites the length of Lincoln’s Transport Refrigeration program – 12 weeks as opposed to condensed 2-week courses offered at other schools – as a reason graduates are better prepared. “That extra hands-on practice and experience is so valuable,” he says. “Lincoln graduates are ready to hit the ground running right out of school, and can potentially move up faster in their careers.”

Other graduates from the Transport Refrigeration program have gone on to start careers with companies including U.S. Foods, Ryder, and Miller Truck Leasing.

The Transport Refrigeration field could see a rapid acceleration in hiring in the coming months as the nation prepares for a potential COVID-19 vaccine in the first half of 2021. The vaccine will need to be shipped across the country in refrigerated containers, leading to an increased demand for technicians who can service the specialized equipment necessary.

“Transport Refrigeration is a niche industry that keeps the country going,” Commaroto adds. “In a way, these careers are recession-proof.”

In addition to the Transport Refrigeration program and its standard Diesel and Truck Technology program, the South Plainfield campus also offers training opportunities in Heavy Equipment Maintenance and Welding Technology. The campus annually places at least four of every five graduates within three months of graduation, and enjoys relationships with hiring partners in New Jersey, New York, and eastern Pennsylvania.
