ABOUT MANUFACTURING DAY

Led by The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce development and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, MFG (Manufacturing) Day shows students what a career in modern manufacturing looks like.

MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.

Held annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the month, MFG Day—Manufacturing Day—helps show the reality of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers and community leaders.

As manufacturers seek to fill 4 million high-skill, high-tech and high-paying jobs over the next decade, MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.

While some MFG Day events may look slightly different than in the past, we are excited that many companies will be opening their doors for in-person events. Manufacturing is at the heart of some of the most impactful work done in response to the pandemic and we are excited to shine a spotlight on manufacturing careers.
