New GE Fellows Program at Massachusetts Maritime Academy Builds More Diverse Renewable Energy Workforce

When GE moved its headquarters to Boston in 2016, it made a commitment to the state’s leaders and citizens. In a show of allegiance to its new community, the company pledged to donate, over several years, a total of $50 million in support of local schools, job training programs, and healthcare initiatives. That promise was fulfilled with flying colors this past November, when the GE Foundation announced a $1.5 million grant to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) to launch the new GE Fellows Program.
