Lincoln University Launches New Program to Prepare Missourians for High-Demand Employment

Lincoln University of Missouri, a historically Black educational institution in Jefferson City, has recently launched the Lincoln University Employment Academy, an initiative aimed at preparing Missouri residents for full-time employment in high-demand industries.

The Lincoln University Employment Academy, set to launch this spring, is a two-semester certificate program that features both online learning and workforce development training for careers in direct care, cybersecurity, office administration, and accounting. In their first semester, participating students will complete online coursework to learn basic skills in the field of their choosing. The second semester will provide students with either paid internships with local state agencies or further coursework at Lincoln University.

Notably, anyone who enrolls in the new program will be considered a full-time Lincoln University student, meaning they are eligible to receive federal financial aid. Additionally, all coursework completed through the Lincoln University Employment Academy counts as college credits and can be applied toward an undergraduate degree.

More information on the Lincoln University Employment Academy can be found here.
