The first Friday in October is Manufacturing Day, a grassroots celebration of the versatility and possibilities of careers in manufacturing. This year, the official date on the calendar is Oct. 4, but all month long, manufacturers and organizations will open their doors to school groups, families and the general public. Company leaders and line workers alike will show off the latest technology, answer lots of questions, talk about educational and career paths and have some fun activities planned.
The Manufacturing Institute’s website lists more than 600 Manufacturing Day events this year, all over the country. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
