Manufacturing (MFG) Day is a grassroots movement of manufacturers dedicated to overcoming the shared challenges facing manufacturers today, including the gap in skilled labor. Manufacturing Day gives manufacturers an opportunity to raise and address these issues by exhibiting what they do to visitors curious about manufacturing. On the first Friday in October, hundreds of manufacturers across the United States and Canada participate in Manufacturing Day by hosting open houses, public tours, career workshops and other events for students, educators, media, civil leaders and local communities. The effort is co-produced by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA); the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP); the Manufacturing Institute (MI); and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
