Manufacturing Day

Manufacturing Day/Week returns Sept. 29-Oct 3, 2025

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 2025, the goal is to meet and exceed that number.

Registration to participate will close on July 31st 2025.

MFG Day host site

We are beginning to look for host sites in modern manufacturing facilities that can offer 90-120 minute tours and showcase the different types of careers offered. Groups of 30 or less chaperoned students will be touring local these manufacturing sites. An orientation breakfast will take place in September to match host sites with visiting schools and walk everyone through the process.
