On February 14, GE hosted ‘American Competitiveness: What Works’, a four-day conference in Washington D.C. dedicated to America’s long-term economic and industry growth. The four-day event featured in-depth conversations with business, political and thought leaders, including GE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt, on what’s working right now, and what must be done to grow manufacturing, foster innovation, compete globally, and create jobs.

At the conference, GE announced it will launch several new programs throughout the year, including:

New pilot programs with partners to improve healthcare delivery in Louisville, Kentucky, and Erie, Pennsylvania, to achieve better health at lower costs in each community. This follows a successful program in Cincinnati that has resulted in significantly lower costs for both local employers and providers while improving access and maintaining quality care.

Hiring 5,000 U.S. veterans over the next five years and sponsoring a “Hire our Heroes” partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to help veterans integrate into the civilian workforce and match them to jobs.

Doubling the number of GE engineering interns to more than 5,000 as part of an initiative proposed by the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness to add 10,000 more engineering graduates a year in the U.S.
