Local hiring managers and employer partners
“We hear consistently from hiring managers throughout this region that there’s a demonstrated need for skilled, trained HVAC and electronic systems technicians, along with electricians,” says Lincoln Tech President and CEO Scott Shaw. “Our Moorestown campus has been a trusted partner in graduating skilled technicians for a number of career fields since 2010, and we’re proud to now assist in addressing the HVAC and electrical skills gaps as well.”
The Certificate-granting HVAC training program can be completed in approximately one year. Students will receive 1200 instructional hours, much of which will be hands-on using Hampden trainers in simulated job site conditions. Topics covered include commercial refrigeration systems, basic refrigeration systems, electricity, heating systems, air conditioning systems and more. Students will learn to install, troubleshoot, repair and maintain equipment, controls and power sources, and will also receive advanced electrical and troubleshooting instruction prior to the end of the program.
The EEST training program follows a similar timeline and breadth of hours, focused on electrical and electronic systems concepts related to the installation, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance of commercial and residential systems. Students will be introduced to career paths in the entertainment, security, monitoring, and telecommunications fields, and will receive training on the skills needed for entry-level residential electrician work.
Upon completion of these programs, students will be encouraged to apply for manufacturer-sponsored training with Hussmann Refrigeration and Johnson Controls International. These global employers are actively seeking new candidates to join their workforces, and in many cases training and relocation expenses are covered – meaning graduates can embark on a more direct route to their new career at little to no additional cost.
