National Manufacturing Day is Friday, October 5, 2012. The day was designed to expand the knowledge about and improve the general perception of manufacturing careers and emphasize manufacturing’s value to the U.S. economy. Coproduced by the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International, National Association of Manufacturers and the Manufacturing Institute, Manufacturing Day is for students, parents, educators, media, customers, suppliers and the community at large.
As part of the celebration, several training facilities, colleges and manufacturers throughout Michigan are sponsoring facility tours and open houses in their communities. Visitors will learn about real career opportunities, training and available industry resources. Manufacturers will also learn about business improvement resources and services delivered through MEPs.
