Education and Training
Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District’s education and training programs are designed to build skills, create job opportunities, and foster economic empowerment within the community.
From green job training to real estate development, these programs provide participants with valuable tools and resources to thrive in high-growth industries. With a focus on inclusivity and equity, LPCCD’s initiatives support the development of a new generation of leaders prepared to make a lasting impact in Newark and beyond.

LPCCD's “Green Suite” trains underrepresented groups, including BIPOC and Women of Color, in real estate development, aiming to create generational wealth and disrupt gentrification in Newark.
