National Manufacturing Day is not just a local event; it’s a nationwide celebration. With the support of organizations like the National Association of Manufacturers, The Manufacturing Institute, MEP Centers, and federal agency partners, the Manufacturing USA network comes together to honor the manufacturers who play a pivotal role in our lives. These manufacturers keep us safe, enrich our lives, contribute to our economic and national security, and create countless opportunities for our communities and workforce.
One of the primary objectives of MFG Day is to empower the manufacturing industry to shape its future workforce. By positively shifting perceptions about the industry, we can attract more talented individuals to manufacturing careers. Amidst record job openings in manufacturing, our collective efforts to inspire and educate the next generation are more critical than ever.
In today’s rapidly changing world, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping the manufacturing landscape. Advanced technologies are paving the way for new careers that demand a skilled and innovative workforce. From bioengineers to data analysts, robotics technicians to operations experts, there is a place for everyone in manufacturing.
