MFG DAY addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it is not. Students and the community can see for themselves how far manufacturing jobs have come, and the environments in which they take place. Manufacturers need to capture the minds of the next generation as more than 3.5 million job openings are expected over the next decade with a growing skills shortage.
