Scholarships will also be offered to eligible students who complete Engineering Academy and pursue engineering degrees at university. Programming will begin in early 2025, engaging an estimated 4,000 students over four years. "We're proud of the impact Next Engineers has already demonstrated by reaching 18,000 students around the world since its founding in 2021, and are excited to continue its success in Warsaw," said GE Aerospace Foundation Board Member and GE Aerospace Chief Diversity Officer Germaine Hunter. "Expanding Next Engineers to Poland will build on 10 years of volunteer efforts here, supported by GE Aerospace employees who engage future generations of engineering professionals as they develop their passions and skills." Warsaw was selected using a range of criteria, including GE Aerospace's employee footprint, the strength of GE Aerospace's manufacturing and engineering presence, and anticipated volunteer engagement in the program.
