Industry celebrates annual Manufacturing Day

Participation has grown exponentially in the event's third year.


Across the country today, customers, suppliers, educators and students will take a moment to reflect on the value of manufacturing to the United States economy.

Just a year after President Obama declared October 3rd National Manufacturing Day, the occasion has more than quadrupled its participation and event count.

Through a series of educational outreach programs, facility tours, and business partnerships, both leaders and newcomers will have an chance to learn about career opportunities, training and resources in domestic manufacturing. These events and others will work to improve the public perception of manufacturing careers with an eye toward reducing the skilled labor shortage, which is just one item among a list of challenges and possibilities facing the industry.

We have compiled some Manufacturing Day coverage highlighting specific events and wider programs.
