The Lincoln High School L-Tech program is touting the benefit of getting its students ready for careers in the workforce by providing skills training in a variety of disciplines.

L-Tech Director Matt Puckett indicates the L-Tech program gives students from Lincoln High School and a few surrounding, partnering districts the opportunity to get hands-on experience in several disciplines.

According to Puckett, programs range from the building trades to cosmetology to law enforcement and nursing. One of the benefits of all these skills is the ability to find work right out of high school or with minimal further training after high school.

Puckett explains one of the benefits of this program not only is the skills to quickly join the workforce but the fact the workforce is in bad enough shape there is an incredible demand for his students with skills - something he hears about often.
