Dear Educators:
Manufacturing Day is a growing grassroots movement of manufacturers dedicated to overcoming the shared challenges facing manufacturers today. The most pressing issue is a gap in skilled labor.

Both of these problems stem from a lack of understanding of present-day manufacturing environments, which are highly technical.
