National Manufacturing Day celebrates modern manufacturing and seeks to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. Thousands of manufacturers across the nation participate by hosting open houses, public tours, career workshops and other events. Colleges also host similar events to showcase courses that can lead to well-paid careers in the manufacturing industry. Microtek will be providing information on future career opportunities that will be available as the company grows.
There are more than 3,000 manufacturers across the San Diego mega-region making it a hub for manufacturing. Manufacturing Day enables San Diegans to visit local manufacturers and find out first-hand about the products and innovations that are being created in the region.
