Novi, Mich.-based The Shyft Group, a specialty vehicle and component manufacturing company that serves a variety of transportation markets, said it will host a live, virtual event for National Manufacturing Day for this year, for students across the country, in proximity to their 15 coast-to-coast campus locations. With this new digital format, Shyft said it expects to reach more students than in previous years. The event will take place this Tuesday from 1–1:30 p.m. ET.
“Work force development is a key need in our industry, and we are committed to educating the next generation of leaders and skilled tradespeople about the many careers manufacturing and its support functions have to offer,” said Daryl Adams, president and CEO, The Shyft Group. “For us, this is a chance to share our passion for manufacturing with students, learn about their goals, and explore what’s next for the industry. As such, it’s one of our favorite events, and we’re excited to share our enthusiasm for our business and for manufacturing.”
During the live event, students will hear directly from engineers, team leaders, assemblers, and talent specialists about careers in manufacturing at The Shyft Group and its family of go-to-market brands.
This will be The Shyft Group’s fourth consecutive year opening their doors and sharing their expertise with students for Manufacturing Day.
Manufacturing Day is an initiative of The Manufacturing Institute, and it is typically held annually on the first Friday in October to give students insights into modern manufacturing careers by partnering with thousands of companies and educational institutions across the country.
