The State of New York, and the New York Metropolitan area in particular, are one of the most vibrant and busy markets in the nation for both electricians and electrical systems technicians. And at the heart of that area is the Lincoln Tech Queens campus, which trains individuals interested in joining a stable industry.
Lincoln Tech’s electrical school combines high-voltage electrical and low-voltage electronic systems technology into one program that helps maximize your career possibilities when you graduate. The Electrical and Electronic Systems Technology (EEST) program is designed to help you enter what the U.S. Department of Labor has designated a Green Increased Demand occupation. This means that green economy activities and technologies are likely to increase the demand for trained individuals who are licensed to work on these systems**.
Graduates of the EEST program can pursue positions as entry-level electrician apprentices, or go to work for a contractor that specializes in electronic systems installation and maintenance. Both have a wide range of career possibilities helping residential customers with cable and satellite TV installations, home theater setup, and whole home electronics.
Highlights of Electrical and Electronics Systems Program
- Knowledge of electrical and electronics principles
- Obtain residential wiring knowledge and practice
- Learn computers and networking
- Fiber optics, security & fire alarm systems
- How telecommunication systems work with home systems
- Security and closed-circuit TV systems

Upon graduation, you will have the opportunity to apply for a position with Johnson Controls, a global provider of integrated "smart" technology that powers more efficient and sustainable buildings and communities. Lincoln Tech is a trusted training partner of Johnson Controls, and the EEST program is taught using their equipment in classrooms sponsored by this technology leader.
