Next Engineers is a global college- and career- readiness program creating opportunities for young people between the ages of 13 and 18 to become engineers. Launched in 2021 by the GE Foundation in four global cities, the program provides students with first-hand experiences in engineering concepts and careers, and ultimately awards partial scholarships to pursue higher education in engineering. Next Engineers continues with the GE Aerospace Foundation in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Warsaw, Poland, and is supported by GE Vernova in Greenville, South Carolina; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Staffordshire, U.K.
