Lincoln Educational Services Re-Opens Marietta, GA Campus
On-Site Instruction Resumes on a Limited Basis in Accordance with State & Local Guidelines
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation, a national leader in specialized technical training, including automotive technology, the skilled trades, healthcare, IT, culinary, and cosmetology, announced that it has re-opened its Marietta, GA campus and resumed on-site instruction on a limited basis.
“On March 17th, in accordance with local and federal guidelines, we transitioned our campus’ classroom instruction to remote, distance learning due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” commented Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have worked closely with our regulators and local authorities to develop a re-opening plan with our primary objective being the health and safety of our students and staff. Initially we will be bringing back students in select programs and those nearing graduation who need the hands-on skills training to complete their education. We will gradually transition to full scale operations as is practical and allowed.”

Lincoln has 280 students currently enrolled at its Marietta campus, located just outside of Atlanta, at 2359 Windy Hill Road. Just over 91% of those students are training for careers that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deems essential.
“Student safety, along with the health and safety of their families, our faculty and staff, is of utmost importance during this time,” says Brian Capozzi, President of the Marietta campus. “We thank all members of our campus community for how they’ve handled the transition to remote leaning over the last two months. After taking all of the appropriate safety measures, we’re ready to welcome students back to campus for the hands-on component of their training. And we look forward to seeing them graduate and join Georgia’s workforce in these critical industries.”
