Manufacturing Day

Manufacturing Day (MFG Day), held annually on the first Friday in October, is a nationwide initiative led by The Manufacturing Institute to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. With events throughout the month, MFG Day connects students, educators, and communities with manufacturers to explore career opportunities and industry innovations.

As the industry faces a growing skills gap, MFG Day helps raise awareness, strengthen community partnerships, and highlight manufacturing’s vital role in the economy. The Manufacturing Institute provides resources and an event database to support organizations in hosting impactful events that shape the future workforce.
