"Upon retiring from the United States Navy after honorably serving my country for 20 years, I decided to seek employment in the private sector. After working at a couple of different jobs, I realized that I needed to further my education in order to achieve my career goals. I was exposed to electronics while serving in the military and wanted to learn more,” stated Timothy Harrison, a graduate of Lincoln College of Technology. "I chose to attend Lincoln College of Technology (LCT) and pursue a diploma in its Electronic Systems Technician program. Due to the education I received from LCT and my personal commitment to excel, I was offered an Electronic Installer position with a great company.... I am extremely glad that I chose this career path and Lincoln College of Technology helped pave the way.”
