At GE, learning is a cultural force and Crotonville is its epicenter. For more than 50 years, the legendary John F. Welch Leadership Center has been at the forefront of real-world application for cutting-edge thinking in organizational development, leadership, innovation and change. Established in 1956, the 53-acre corporate learning campus was the first of its kind in the world.
The Crotonville campus attracts the world's brightest and most influential minds in academia and business. Every year, for thousands of our people from entry-level employees to our highest-performing executives, a journey to Crotonville is something of a pilgrimage — a transformative learning experience that, for many, becomes a defining career event.
The facility's meandering outdoor walkways and recreation areas were designed to encourage exploration and spontaneous connection with other learners. Its very structure is a reinforcement of what is best about learning at GE: authentic human connection coupled with the invigorating pursuit of ideas.
Today the Welch Leadership Center continues its legacy, serving as a powerful organizational force that commissions each of our employees with an important reminder: to never stop learning.
