A Laboratory for the Future of Energy
On May 7, CEO Scott Strazik and other GE Vernova executives welcomed 50 interns from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Tufts University, and other local schools to the company's Cambridge, Massachusetts, headquarters, for an Intern Welcome Event as they embarked on a summer of exploring what role they can play in the future of energy. The day served as a reminder that, while software can optimize the grid and automate inspection processes, it can't replace the engineering savvy required to design a turbine, modernize the grid, improve manufacturing processes, or troubleshoot complex equipment in the field.
"Leaders come in all shapes and sizes," Strazik told the group, emphasizing that the energy transition is a hands-on endeavor. "We want you to come in and, in your own stylistic way, lead over the course of the summer. Look at GE Vernova as a real laboratory for you to experiment, to try different things, and grow as people and professionals."
