West Orange, NJ, March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75 years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical training, announces that President and CEO Scott Shaw will be a featured speaker at Landmark Ventures’ Social Innovation Summit on Wednesday, March 17th at 1pm EDT. The webinar, “EdTech: One Pandemic Year Later,” will examine transformations in education technology in response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
“Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen tremendous shifts in how our sector delivers critical hands-on training,” Shaw says. “At Lincoln Tech, we accelerated our existing Blended Learning capabilities to quickly and effectively shift all of our classes to a hybrid model with little or no interruption to the student experience. The student response was overwhelmingly positive, which speaks to the adaptability of our outstanding instructors. I look forward to sharing our organization’s experience with the panel and attendees.”
Shaw adds that the goal of improving student outcomes must remain the focus throughout the industry, regardless of outside conditions or educational delivery methods. At Lincoln Tech, graduates are entering career fields such as healthcare support, automotive and transportation fields, skilled trades such as HVAC, Welding, and Computerized Manufacturing, and Information Technology – all of which are essential now and will help move the country forward after the pandemic.
