October 5, 2012, was Manufacturing Day (www.mfgday.com), a day devoted to raising awareness about manufacturing and the good paying, highly skilled jobs available throughout the industry. Manufacturing companies nationwide marked the day with open houses, plant tours and student outreach events.IMTSTV got in the spirit with a special video featuring AMT President Doug Woods, as well as a video featuring the NIMS Student Skills Summit at IMTS 2012. There are also a host of other videos featured on the IMTSTV page, covering topics such as jobs in the industry, the skills gap and other topics.
Outreach to students (as well as their educators and parents) isn’t something that just happens once a year – it needs to take place year-round. Be inspired to reach out to the next generation of your employees and customers. The time is now!
