The Mahwah campus was the first Lincoln Tech school to offer the Audi Education Partnership Program. In September 2015 representatives from Audi joined Lincoln Tech to launch the partnership and delivered new Audis to the Automotive Technology training bays. Along with the Chrysler Mopar Career Automotive Program (CAP) apprenticeship and Volkswagen education programs, these partnerships give Lincoln Tech graduates an edge when they're ready to hit the gas on the road to their new career.

After graduation, you may also choose to continue your training by applying for BMW MINI COOPER STEP (Service Technician Education program)**. All of these programs give area dealerships "first choice" at hiring top graduates who have trained on their specific technologies – which can mean even greater career opportunities for you.
