Manufacturing Day and Month

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

​

Manufacturing Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in October, with events continuing throughout the month and beyond. It celebrates modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. These events encourage students to learn skills that apply to employment in the manufacturing industry and beyond.

A comprehensive list of national MFG Day activities is available through the Manufacturing Institute’s MFG Day website:
