Manufacturing Day

MFG Day/Week Sept. 30-Oct 4, 2024

What is manufacturing day? It is a national day where high school students can learn about modern-day manufacturing, career options and more. Students are able to visit a local facility and envision their future careers. They can connect current classroom learning to on-the-job skills. Careers in manufacturing today are much different than years ago. Today, the manufacturing industry utilizes technology to create and build the latest and greatest products.

In 2023, the Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD) in conjunction with the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development (MCPED), played host to the 10th annual Macomb County Manufacturing Day. More than 2,000 students from all 27 high schools in Macomb County participated. MFG Day host sites welcomed a group of chaperoned students and allowed them a chance to see the industry in action by offering tours that showcase different processes as well as the careers involved. Each host site presented a 90-120 minute visit to give students a visual and hands-on experience inside a modern manufacturing facility.

2024 host site registration and sponsorship availability will open soon.
