Today America’s manufacturers celebrate Manufacturing
Day 2016 (MFG DAY 2016). MFG DAY 2016 is a national event designed to
build an interest in manufacturing careers among the future
workforce. While manufacturing has been experiencing a recovery, that recovery is threatened by a lack of skilled workers.
Manufacturing is critical to the American economy (See the infographic below). A critical component of manufacturing in the U.S. is workforce development. Today, we join with the manufacturing community in America to highlight careers and opportunities in manufacturing.
Finding and attracting skilled workers is a significant problem facing many manufacturers continue due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of manufacturing environments. MFG DAY was developed to address common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to show the community opportunities in manufacturing. Manufacturers are working with the community, institutions and agencies to address the skilled labor shortage, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the manufacturing industry.
MFG DAY empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive. This year on October 7, 2016, the nation celebrates modern manufacturing and provides insight into opportunities, through experiences and hands-on events, to inspire the next generation of manufacturing workers.
