Manufacturing Day
Manufacturing Day/Week returns Sept. 28-Oct 2, 2026
What is Manufacturing Day? It is a national day in which 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.
Due to a high volume of manufacturers in the area, Manufacturing Day is extended to a whole week here in the County.
Last year, the Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD) in conjunction with the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development (MCPED) had more than 2,000 students from Macomb County high schools participate. Now in 2026, the goal is to meet and exceed that number.
