Manufacturers, mark your calendars for Manufacturing Day 2022, which is Friday, Oct. 7th. Also known as MFG Day, this is manufacturing’s biggest annual opportunity to inspire the next generation to start careers in modern manufacturing through a series of focused events to promote manufacturing to students, parents, and educators on the first Friday of October continuing throughout the rest of the month.
Now in its 12th year, MFG Day is an initiative of The Manufacturing Institute, with the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association as a founding partner. The institute grows and supports the manufacturing industry’s skilled workers for the advancement of modern manufacturing.
