Lincoln Tech Brings Peterbilt Technician Institute to its Nashville Campus
April 11 2023 - 10:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training for more than 75 years, announces it has entered into a training partnership with Peterbilt Motors Company to offer a specialized diesel training program at its historic Nashville, TN campus. The Peterbilt Technician Institute (PTI) at Lincoln Tech will assist Lincoln graduates in building additional skills for Peterbilt-specific equipment and technologies, and in starting new careers across the country. Peterbilt and Lincoln Tech will work together in supplying diesel technicians to Peterbilt dealerships throughout the company’s network.
“Establishing PTI at Lincoln Tech’s Nashville campus opens a new geographical territory where we can develop Peterbilt’s next generation of highly skilled, trained technicians,” says Casey Spadafina, Peterbilt’s Technician Program Manager for North America. Spadafina notes that this is the third site nationwide for PTI training, following locations in Chicago and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Peterbilt dealerships will cover the cost of the 12-week training program, which will be offered at Lincoln Tech’s Nashville campus - a location with a rich history of more than 100 years as a leading career training provider. Lincoln Tech, formerly Nashville Auto-Diesel College, is one of the southeast region’s most established technical schools.
“The opportunity to partner with an employer like Peterbilt opens an incredible number of doors for our graduates,” says Susan English, Lincoln Tech’s Senior Vice President for Career Services and Industry Partnerships. “At the same time, we’re honored to have the chance to assist this industry leader as they build their world-class diesel technician workforce.”
Interested students are encouraged to apply to PTI prior to graduating from Lincoln Tech. Covering a broad range of Peterbilt-specific technologies, the PTI curriculum gives graduates of Lincoln’s Auto, Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology programs advanced training on systems ranging from fuel and electrical to HVAC, suspensions and brakes. Spadafina estimates that at least 75% of the training is hands-on, as students build experience working with real Peterbilt trucks. Students will also attend classroom sessions and complete web-based skill-building activities.
Upon completion of the advanced diesel program, students will have earned nine factory-trained technician credentials, which can help fast-track them to careers with more than 420 Peterbilt dealerships across the country.
“Peterbilt’s PTI program was developed specifically to prepare the next generation of qualified service technicians. By partnering with Lincoln Tech’s Nashville campus, students will receive best-in-class training, obtain valuable certifications and be placed in technician positions at Peterbilt dealerships across North America, earning a competitive salary and the opportunity to build a meaningful, long-term career,” said Jason Skoog PACCAR Vice President and Peterbilt General Manager.
With the Diesel and Truck industry projecting a tremendous need for skilled technicians across the country, the PTI training program is projected to begin sometime this summer. Peterbilt’s goal is to double the number of dealer technicians employed today by the end of 2027, so career opportunities should be plentiful for students who complete this advanced training program.
This is the latest in a series of new employer partnerships announced by Lincoln Tech in recent months. In addition to Peterbilt, Lincoln Tech partners with Tesla, Mazda, BMW, Marriott, Johnson Controls International, Hussmann, Kindig-It Designs, the Food Processing Suppliers Association, Republic Services, Volkswagen, Toyota, and hundreds of local employers throughout the U.S.

For-profit colleges join dogpile opposed to student loan forgiveness
Challenges to President Joe Biden’s actions on student loan debt are already before the justices, but for-profit colleges are asking the high court to create more roadblocks to the relief plan.
KELSEY REICHMANN / April 5, 2023
WASHINGTON (CN) — For-profit colleges brought the latest appeal to the Supreme Court steps over the Biden administration’s actions to cancel student loan debt.
Whereas the court is already reviewing a challenge to the use of a post-9/11 law to cancel $10,000 in debt from certain student loan borrowers using a post-9/11 law, the emergency application submitted Wednesday to Justice Elena Kagan takes a different tack. Everglades College and two other institutions complain that the use of the Higher Education Act to cancel student loan debt is an abuse of authority.
“The Secretary’s claimed authority amounts to nothing less than the power to cancel, en masse, every student loan in the country,” Jesse Panuccio with Boies Schiller Flexner wrote in an application for the universities, referring to the head of the Department of Education.
Panuccio notes that the program in question diverges from the administration’s actions under the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003, but that this case could moot the question already before the justices.
“If the Secretary is correct, the pending decisions in Nebraska and Brown could be rendered potentially irrelevant,” Panuccio wrote. “After an adverse decision from this Court, the Secretary could turn around and cancel the same debts under his claimed HEA authority.”
Before Biden took office, over 160,000 student loan borrowers sued the Education Department in 2019, claiming the government had failed to process their borrower defense claims — an application that can be filed with the department if a student feels their university has engaged in misconduct. The class action suit alleged that students had their credit damaged because of the government’s inaction on the claims.
A settlement was in the works in 2020. Under former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, the department said it would respond to the requests within 18 months. A year later, DeVos was ordered by a federal judge to testify in the class action over the long delays and mass denials of student debt relief claims. U.S. District Judge William Alsup said there was evidence that the department acted in bad faith when delaying the processing of borrower defense claims.
Before DeVos could testify, however, a divided panel on the Ninth Circuit rebuked Alsup’s ruling, finding that it would violate separation of powers principles to force testimony from cabinet members — even if they are no longer holding office.
The students then claimed the Education Department had adopted a presumption of denial policy for borrower defense claims and asked for an order forcing the court to hand down a decision on the merits of their claims.
Settlement talks advanced in 2022, with both parties filing for preliminary approval. At the same time, however, the department also moved for summary judgment on the basis that there was no longer a need for relief because it had already been provided.
For-profit universities moved to halt the suit once the students and government agreed to a settlement. Everglades College, Lincoln Educational Services Corporation and American National University claimed the Education Department did not have the authority to provide the relief it agreed to in its settlement, and the settlement would violate the Administrative Procedure Act as well as the universities’ due process rights.
Overruling the universities’ objections, a federal judge granted final approval of the settlement. The schools have appealed the ruling but claim the Supreme Court must intervene because the government plans on acting sooner rather than later.
“They have sought orderly appellate review, but the Department has announced it will effectuate the settlement immediately, rather than on the year-plus timeframe established by the settlement,” Panuccio wrote. “Accordingly, the schools seek a stay pending a writ of certiorari.”
The universities allege the settlement denies them their due process rights while removing their administrative rights. They also claim the agreement will expose them to new liability.
According to the universities, the department is using two provisions under the HEA both to cancel student debt and to refund prior payments to 200,000 students at 151 institutions. The schools say this also creates a new process for examining additional borrower defense claims.
“The Secretary’s claimed authority to provide not just $10,000, $17,500, or $40,000 in debt relief for some professions, or full relief in a handful of circumstances, but full discharge in all circumstances — and refunds of past payments — renders these carefully calibrated grants of specific authority impermissibly superfluous,” Panuccio wrote (emphasis in original).
Everglades says the administration is incorrectly reading HEA’s statutes and that its proposed plan would require specific authorization from Congress. But even if the department was authorized to create such a plan, the universities claim the government did not follow the appropriate steps to do so.
“Even if the HEA granted the Secretary the authority to establish a program of en masse loan cancellation and refunds — and the major questions doctrine confirms Congress did not — at minimum, creation of such a farreaching, detail-laden program would require formal rulemaking,” Panuccio wrote.
The Department of Education did not respond to a request for comment on the case.
