Happy MFG Day 2024

Celebrated annually on the first Friday in October, with events continuing throughout the month and beyond, MFG Day – Manufacturing Day – is a national grassroots movement that demonstrates the reality and future of modern manufacturing careers. Thousands of companies and educational institutions nationwide are invited to open their doors to students, parents, educators and community leaders.

MFG Day, an initiative of the Manufacturing Institute – the workforce development and education affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) – empowers manufacturers to come together and address their collective challenges and build excitement about manufacturing careers to help their communities and future generations thrive.

MFG Day is manufacturing’s biggest annual opportunity to inspire the next generation, positively shift perceptions about our industry, and build the foundation for the manufacturing workforce of the future. It empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive. Amid record job openings in manufacturing, our collective efforts are as important now as ever.
