Today, GE Transportation, a unit of the General Electric Company, donated $25,000 to the Chicago Public Schools’ Early College Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Schools (ECSS). ECSS prepares Chicago Public School students for college and professional careers by teaching them the skills needed to succeed in a competitive and global economy. Having recently relocated its corporate headquarters to Chicago, GE Transportation is continuing its tradition of supporting the communities in which it works all over the world.

The ECSS program is focused on preparing students to go to college and launch careers in STEM-related fields. It seeks to equip students for high-skilled jobs because workers with only a high school education or less currently account for only 41 percent of the workforce in America. By 2018, two-thirds of jobs in the U.S. will require at least some college education.

GE Transportation will be present at the third edition of EurasiaRail and is ready to create a buzz with its Tempo line of advanced signaling solutions for mass transit and railway markets. EurasiaRail, the world’s third largest exhibition in the field of rail transport, is taking place over 3 days, from March 7-9 at the Istanbul Expo Center and is expected to draw more than 25,000 professional visitors, including key buyers, from around 25 countries.

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has identified storm reconstruction as one of its key initiatives.  When natural disasters strike, having smart grids, backup generators and energy storage systems in place can make a big difference in how well an area can maintain and recover its electrical service.  You can learn more about NEMA’s latest recommendations by visiting their site: www.nema.org, and downloading their latest report: Storm R econstruction: Rebuild Smart .
