Lincoln Tech’s NADC Donates Diesel Engines to Area Schools
12 Juin 2024 - 3:00PM
Proudly serving the community for more than 100 years, Lincoln
Tech's NADC understands the importance of supporting future skilled
technicians throughout all stages of their education. As part of
their commitment to student success, the campus recently donated a
series of diesel engines to local area high schools.
With more than 240,000 openings for diesel & truck
technicians projected across the country by 2032*, Lincoln Tech’s
NADC is proud to help promote the industry as an exciting,
rewarding career path for students looking to build in-demand
skills.
“It’s a privilege to be able to assist schools in our area and
enhance their diesel technology programs,” says Brent Jenkins,
President of Lincoln Tech’s NADC campus. “With such high demand for
technicians in the industry – not only nationwide but right here in
Tennessee – we all need to support one another in growing the
overall workforce. These engines will go to good use in their new
locations, and it’s exciting to know many future diesel techs will
build hands-on skills using this equipment.”
Hickman County High School and East Hickman County High School
each received two rebranded 1,000-lb. CAT engines, valued at
$20,000 each. “Receiving this type of donation from Lincoln Tech
will improve our ability to expose our students to the latest
technology they will see in the workforce,” says Todd Collins, an
Automotive instructor at East Hickman County High School. “Without
these types of donations, our program is limited in what we are
able to expose our students to.”
Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) also received
engines for its campuses in Nashville and Hartsville.
TCAT-Nashville Diesel Instructor Marshall “Pat” Dillard is a 1973
graduate of Lincoln Tech’s NADC and a former Lincoln Tech
instructor. While at Lincoln Tech in 2007, Dillard helped launch
the campus’ Heavy Equipment Maintenance program. He notes that TCAT
just received certification through the Associated Equipment
Distributors (AED) Foundation, and Lincoln’s donation will play a
key role in expanding the hands-on experience students will
receive.
Houston County High School, which also received a donated
engine, is one of several schools across the region to graduate
students who have then gone on to earn credentials at Lincoln
Tech’s NADC.
As one of the country’s leading destinations for diesel industry
career training, the Nashville campus is home to the Peterbilt
Technician Institute (PTI). In addition to the Diesel & Truck
Service Technology program, the campus also provides career
training for the automotive, collision repair, heavy equipment, and
welding industries.
*Career growth projections can be found at onetonline.org
for the years 2022-2032 and are current as of June 7, 2024.
