This annual celebration gives small and medium-sized manufacturers across the country an opportunity to showcase their products and capabilities to students, educators, businesspeople, politicians, and the media. The goal?<\/p>\n<p>To spread the word about the importance of manufacturing, the benefits it brings to our country, and career opportunities within the industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Numbers Don\u2019t Lie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>But does it really make a difference<\/i>, our more skeptical readers may be thinking. The answer is a resounding yes!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mfgday.com\/\">Manufacturing Day<\/a>\u00a0has been attracting more and more people every year, with the official events growing over 1,000 percent since its inception in 2012. Even more inspiring? A Deloitte survey of nearly 270,000 students participating in 2016 revealed that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>89% were made more aware of manufacturing jobs in their communities<\/li>\n<li>84% were more convinced that manufacturing provides careers that are interesting and rewarding<\/li>\n<li>64% are more motivated to pursue careers in manufacturing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With results like this, it\u2019s time to begin making your Manufacturing Day plans. But why stop at just one day? Consider making it Manufacturing Week, or Manufacturing Month. Better yet, practice Manufacturing Day year round!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Celebrating Manufacturing Day Year-Round<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What makes Manufacturing Day so important to the growth of our industry? Currently, nearly one-quarter of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.com\/blog\/capturing-employee-tribal-knowledge-before-its-too-late\">manufacturing employees<\/a>\u00a0are age 55 or older\u2014and these individuals will soon be heading toward retirement. To offset their impending exit, it\u2019s critical to bring in new talent.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three ideas that may help you attract the next generation of workers while making Manufacturing Day a year-round celebration:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 Partner with local schools and colleges.\u00a0<\/strong>Speak with leadership and career advisors at local schools and colleges about hosting small groups of students for interactive talks and tours, or participate at student organization events with a focus on new technologies (sure to be of interest to this tech-savvy generation).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Inspire high school students with interactive manufacturing talks and tours.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited-1.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited.jpeg 299w, https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited-2.jpeg 449w, https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited-3.jpeg 598w, https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited-4.jpeg 748w, https:\/\/www.dvirc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmtc-mfg-girl-1-411220-edited-5.jpeg 897w\" alt=\"Inspire high school students with interactive manufacturing talks and tours.\" width=\"299\" data-constrained=\"true\" \/>Schools offering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/business\/2014\/11\/12\/high-schools-teach-manufacturing-skills\/17805483\/\">manufacturing curricula<\/a> or STEM-focused classes are an ideal target; there&#8217;s also Project Lead the Way, a nonprofit providing transformative engineering and technology learning experiences for students in grades K-12. They have hundreds of participating schools throughout Greater Philadelphia and encourage you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pltw.org\/experience-pltw\/school-locator?search_school=&amp;state=PA&amp;lat=&amp;long=\">find a school<\/a>\u00a0in your area and make connections.<\/p>\n<p>CMTC will also be actively helping to partner manufacturers and schools so that students will have the opportunity to attend various Manufacturing Day events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Implement an internship program.\u00a0<\/strong>Reach out to local high schools and colleges to offer internships to those with technical aptitudes; this will allow young people to see the \u201creal world\u201d of manufacturing and help to dispel the myth that all factory work is \u201cdark, dirty, and dangerous.\u201d As a bonus, their bright young minds may come up with innovative new ways of doing things on the factory floor!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0 Network.<\/strong> Millennials (born 1980-1994) and Gen Z (born 1995-2014) are recognized for their social media sharing and connecting. Use this to your advantage! Ask millennials that you hire to recommend friends in need of a job, and offer to let a friend shadow them for a day to get an idea of what the job is all about (what employee wouldn\u2019t want to hang out with a friend while at work?). Before you know it, you could be trending on Twitter!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registration for Manufacturing Day Starts Soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The opportunity to make a difference, inspire the next generation, and grow your business is near. While we encourage you to make Manufacturing Day a year-round event, we\u2019ll keep you posted once official registration begins, offering tips and resources along the way.
