Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) is an annual event observed on the first Friday in October and celebrated throughout the month. It showcases modern manufacturing and aims to inspire the next generation of makers. Led by the Manufacturing Institute, MFG Day highlights the critical role of manufacturing in the U.S. economy while promoting the wide range of career opportunities in this dynamic field.
Each year, thousands of companies and educational institutions across the country open their doors to students, educators, and community members, offering behind-the-scenes tours of the innovative technologies driving today’s manufacturing processes. Through MFG Day, companies demonstrate that modern manufacturing offers rewarding careers with competitive wages, job stability, and opportunities for growth.
