United Technologies Says It Will Hire 1,000 People For The Unit
United Technologies Corporation (UTC) will hire 1,000 new employees for its Pratt & Whitney unit in Connecticut following UTCs merger with Raytheon, according to Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont.
In a statement released following conversations between Governor Lamont (pictured) and UTC CEO Gret Hayes, Lamont said Hayes "commended our work in crafting an honestly balanced budget, delivered on-time, without raising income tax rates. To that end, I’m excited that UTC has agreed to do two things to reinforce their existing presence in our state.
“Connecticut punches above its weight in aerospace, defense, engineering, and advanced manufacturing. Our highly skilled talent, advanced manufacturing education programs, and ecosystem are ground zero for companies like Pratt & Whitney and Otis. No one is willing to walk away from that," Lamont said in the statement. “The first is that UTC intends to make 1,000 new hires at Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut over the next few years.
Hayes also said that Otis will remain in Connecticut when it is separated from UTC.
“I’m grateful to Greg’s and UTC’s continued commitment to Connecticut, as well as the skills and ingenuity of our workforce. Our best days are ahead, and while the increasingly global economy requires us to think differently, move quickly, and innovate smartly, we also can’t forget the pillars on which this state was built. With this investment, there will be more good-paying jobs for our families, a stronger state economy, and greater opportunities for all those who call our state home,” Lamont said.
