From the Washington Examiner — GE Aerospace is launching a new $30 million initiative to bolster the industry’s workforce in alignment with an April executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
Trump’s order, titled “Preparing Americans for High-Paying Skilled Trade Jobs of the Future,” directs the administration to produce a report within 90 days outlining “opportunities to integrate systems and realign resources to address critical workforce needs.”
The report, written by the Department of Labor in July, directs the government to “seek businesses’ help to co-design work-based training and credentialing opportunities, including Registered Apprenticeships for new and incumbent workers.”
Christian Meisner, chief human resources officer for GE Aerospace, suggested to the Washington Examiner that the new initiative, a series of multiyear grants distributed across a five-year window, will not only benefit GE but also the entire American aerospace industry.
