Lincoln Educational Services Corporation is "Hire A Hero" Title Sponsor

Hire A Hero announced that Lincoln Educational Services Corporation ("Lincoln") has become the title sponsor of the national non-profit Hire A Hero program. Hire A Hero links transitioning military personnel, National Guard members, Reservists and veterans with employers who recognize the value of their military service and want to hire them. Because of Lincoln's generosity, the Hire A Hero program will remain operational and free for the military community to use.

"Lincoln is doing more than saying thank you to the men and women who have served our country. With their sponsorship of the Hire A Hero program, they are helping keep a program alive that assists our military community with their civilian job search," stated Hire A Hero Executive Director, Dan Caulfield. "Helping these men and women find good paying jobs after returning home from battle is one of the best ways to give back."

Widely known and respected as Lincoln Technical Institute since its founding in 1946 as a post-war job skill training source, Lincoln Tech has consistently responded to employer needs and the changing times. By always looking for ways to grow and keep up with technology, Lincoln has achieved a strong mix of programs that provide a wide variety of in-demand career training opportunities.

"At Lincoln, we work to improve people's lives. Hire A Hero is similar in the fact that they also work to improve people's lives, particularly those who have served our county. There is a real synergy between our organization and Hire A Hero. I could not be prouder than to support such a worthy cause which takes us back to our roots of helping veterans," stated Shaun McAlmont, Lincoln Educational Services President and Chief Operating Officer.

In establishing the sponsorship, Hire A Hero will not only be helping the military community find jobs, but will, also be providing opportunities to candidates to match training opportunities with Lincoln program offerings. For more information visit www.hireahero.com.
