Lincoln Tech Hosts Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver at Union Campus

UNION, N.J., July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- With New Jersey employers speaking out about the skills gap that exists in today's workforce, Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver paid a visit to Lincoln Tech's Union campus recently to see firsthand how the state's leading career training school is preparing tomorrow's hands-on technicians.  Campus President Dr. Kevin Kirkley along with several members of the campus staff joined Oliver as she toured the automotive, electrical, and HVAC training facilities, meeting students and hearing their stories about their pursuit of new career opportunities.

"We were honored to host Lt. Governor Oliver and let her personally experience our commitment to preparing the students who will be the foundation of tomorrow's workforce," says Dr. Kirkley.  "Ms. Oliver mentioned her own experience managing training programs, similar to Lincoln Tech's, that focus on outcomes, retention, and placement.  She acknowledged the value in proprietary career training and referenced the support that the postsecondary education industry is now receiving from the federal government."

During her visit, Lt. Governor Oliver and her chief of staff, Terry Tucker, addressed a class and stressed the need for hands-on talent in the state's workforce.

"We were excited at the opportunity to position Lincoln Tech schools as useful partners in meeting the training needs of employers across the state," Kirkley adds.  "With the New Jersey Skills Gap Summit being held this September at our South Plainfield campus, this was a tremendous opportunity to introduce Trenton to who we are, what we do, and how we're changing both the lives of our students and the future of the state's workforce development."
