GE Vernova and Clemson University celebrate Next Engineers academy graduation
-
33 students graduate from program designed to inspire the next generation of engineers
GREENVILLE, South Carolina (May 22, 2025) – Last week, GE Vernova and Clemson University celebrated the graduation of 33 students from Next Engineers, a global college-and career-readiness program creating opportunities for young people to become engineers. This is the second graduating class of Next Engineers: Engineering Academy students in Greenville, South Carolina.
Thirty-three students from the program’s second Academy cohort celebrated their graduation alongside family, friends, GE Vernova, and Next Engineers leaders at Clemson University’s Conference Center & Inn. Clemson University is the educational partner for the local Next Engineers program, which was established in 2021.
John Intile, Vice President, Engineering GE Vernova, told the graduates that they are critical to driving transformation and shaping a better, brighter, more sustainable future for all.
“You are the embodiment of the energy of change. Your education--and this program--has equipped you with the skills, knowledge, and resilience required to make a meaningful impact in whatever path you choose. As you prepare to enter this next chapter, know that your GE Vernova family will be with you sharing their resilient optimism in you and the future you will create. We believe wholeheartedly that each one of you has the energy to change the world.”
Students who complete the Engineering Academy program and enroll in a qualified engineering or engineering-related degree program receive scholarships to support their education toward becoming engineers. To date, the Next Engineers program in Greenville has reached nearly 5,400 students and awarded over $900,000 in scholarships to qualifying graduates.
Serita Acker, the executive director of Clemson’s PEER & WISE, said that the skills and knowledge students have received have laid a solid foundation and she is proud to witness this second cohort pursue engineering degrees at institutions across the country.
“Now in our fourth year, Next Engineers continues to transform lives by investing in the future of STEM and empowering the next generation of diverse innovators. I am especially grateful for the Clemson University faculty, staff, students, and graduate students for their continued engagement, as well as for the partnership and support from Upstate high schools who help make this initiative possible.”
The Next Engineers: Engineering Academy is a transformative learning experience designed for students aged 15 to 18. Through a rigorous curriculum, immersive design challenges, and career coaching, students learn to think and act like engineers. The program is supported by Clemson who equips participants with the skills needed to build an engineering identity and pursue successful careers in engineering fields. GE Vernova engineers and employees from Greenville, S.C., actively engage with the program through skill-based volunteering, donating over 1,200 hours last year.
Next Engineers is not the only way the community has committed to producing the next generation of STEM talent. The GE John Lammas Annual Scholarship, funded by GE Vernova in Greenville, provides $8,000 scholarships to undergraduate students majoring in general engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering, computer information systems, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering and materials science and engineering.

Announcement made as GE Vernova rings NYSE Opening Bell ® in celebration of Earth Day.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (April 22, 2025) – As the world celebrates Earth Day, the GE Vernova Foundation today announced a new grant program focused on green spaces, an expansion of its commitments to growing stronger, more resilient communities and creating long-lasting environmental benefits through innovation and partnership. The announcement was made from the New York Stock Exchange where foundation and company leaders from across GE Vernova were honored to ring the Opening Bell ® in recognition of Earth Day.
To kick off the initiative, the Foundation committed a $500,000, two-year grant to the Trust for Public Land (TPL) - $250,000 of which will be allocated to helping bring green spaces to underrepresented communities in the Boston area. This grant will support TPL’s Parks for People program and will aim to revitalize public spaces in Dorchester, Roslindale, and Mattapan, providing nearly 40,000 Boston residents access to a green space within a 10-minute walk. GE Vernova opened its headquarters in Cambridge in 2023.
“These new parks and schoolyards will help foster stronger, healthier communities and provide local students and residents with much-needed green spaces,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “At GE Vernova, we are powered by the energy of change, and this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community resilience, helping to create a brighter future for all.”
“Investing in vibrant, welcoming green spaces isn’t just about parks - it’s about building healthier, stronger neighborhoods for generations to come,” said Jodi Valenta, Massachusetts Program Director for Trust for Public Land. “With support from the GE Vernova Foundation, we’re transforming park access in Boston, bringing nearly 40,000 people outdoor access close to home. Projects like the Edgewater Trail and Archdale Community Greenspace will create new opportunities for communities to connect with nature, stay active, and enjoy the benefits of the outdoors.”
The park projects are “shovel-ready” and set to be initiated and completed within the next 12 to 24 months. All projects are based on a participatory design process, resulting in hundreds of residents exploring environmental and sustainability concepts, landscape, and outdoor design, creating entire communities of conservationists. The projects will incorporate infrastructure such as catch and release stormwater systems to reduce flooding, tree canopies and rain gardens showcasing native plants.
As the Foundation continues to grow, our goal is to continue putting the company’s purpose - The Energy to Change the World - into practice by expanding this program’s reach to the global communities where our employees live and work.

Announcement made as GE Vernova rings NYSE Opening Bell ® in celebration of Earth Day.
ATLANTA, GA. (April 22, 2025) – As the world celebrates Earth Day, the GE Vernova Foundation today announced a new grant program focused on green spaces, an expansion of its commitments to growing stronger, more resilient communities and creating long-lasting environmental benefits through innovation and partnership. The announcement was made from the New York Stock Exchange where foundation and company leaders from across GE Vernova were honored to ring the Opening Bell ® in recognition of Earth Day.
To kick off the initiative, the Foundation committed a $500,000, two-year grant to the Trust for Public Land (TPL) - $250,000 of which will be allocated to Atlanta, home to one of GE Vernova’s largest U.S. sites. The grant will fund TPL’s Community Schoolyards program, and will support Atlanta Public Schools by transforming 10 schoolyards into new green spaces, providing nearly 35,000 students and residents access to a green space within a 10-minute walk.
“These schoolyards will foster healthier, more vibrant communities, providing students and residents with access to nature,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “At GE Vernova, we are powered by the energy of change, and this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community resilience, helping to create a brighter future for all.”
“In too many communities in and around Atlanta - especially in lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color - access to the outdoors remains out of reach,” said George Dusenbury, Georgia State Director for Trust for Public Land. “With the GE Vernova Foundation’s support, we’re changing that by transforming schoolyards into vibrant, green spaces that serve students and the entire community. These reimagined schoolyards provide nearly 35,000 students and residents with a safe place to play, connect, and enjoy the outdoors - right in their own neighborhoods.”
The schoolyard projects are “shovel-ready” and set to be initiated and completed within the next 12 to 24 months. All projects are based on a participatory design process, resulting in hundreds of students exploring environmental and sustainability concepts, landscape, and outdoor design, creating the next generation of conservationists. The projects will incorporate infrastructure such as catch and release stormwater systems to reduce flooding, tree canopies and rain gardens showcasing native plants.
In addition to funding, the Foundation will host a volunteer event at Fickett Elementary School in Atlanta to prepare the schoolyard and engage employees in environmental stewardship. As the Foundation continues to grow, our goal is to continue putting the company’s purpose - The Energy to Change the World - into practice by expanding this program’s reach to the global communities where our employees live and work.
