Moulton Statement on GE’s $4.4 Million Investment in Advanced Manufacturing Jobs in Sixth District

WASHINGTON — Following today’s announcement that General Electric will invest an additional $4.4 million in advanced manufacturing jobs in the North Shore, Representative Seth Moulton released the following statement:  

“This announcement marks the next chapter in a promise General Electric made to me a few years back when they committed to investing in job training in the Sixth District.

“With this additional level of funding, young people across our region will continue to obtain the skills, training, and credentials they need to land good-paying jobs. This funding will ensure we remain competitive and continue to lead the charge in transforming and developing the advanced manufacturing industry for years to come.”

Background:

Both in 2016 and 2017, while Rep. Moulton visited its headquarters, G.E. made the philanthropic commitment to Representative Moulton to invest money into additional advanced manufacturing jobs.

Moulton’s team was instrumental in bringing together the North Shore workforce training programs to propose a detailed plan to G.E, which eventually became the GE Advanced Manufacturing Training Expansion Program (AMTEP).
