The first-ever “Manufacturing Day” was so successful last year that the sponsors have decided to do it again. The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, the National Association of Manufacturers and the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association have scheduled this year’s National Manufacturing Day for October 4. Last year’s event involved more 7,000 people participating in 240 open houses and public tours of manufacturing facilities.
The sponsors want companies to be involved in improving the public’s negative image of manufacturing as a means to attract young people into the sector by making them excited about careers in manufacturing. Companies interested in opening their plants and educating the public can go to www.mfgday.com.
