GE Drops $30M to Train Workers Who Actually Know Stuff

In the grand aerospace arena of Cincinnati, Larry Culp, the GE Aerospace CEO whose name sounds like a rejected Game of Thrones character, announced a $30 million, five-year skills training playbook to revive U.S. manufacturing — just in time for Trump's riveting second term hustle. The plan, blessed by Ohio’s governor Mike DeWine (yes, the guy who sounds like a dental procedure), aims to fix America’s skills gap, which is basically like having a spaceship without astronauts. This program doesn't just write checks; it funds shiny equipment, new teachers, and wipes student financial tears, all while nestled among gargantuan GE engines that probably have fewer moving parts than government bureaucracy.
