Now is the time to sign up as a host site or sponsor for the 11th annual Manufacturing Day.
The national MFG Day event is Friday, Oct. 4. But Macomb County, as one of the largest participants in the country, will for the third time use the whole week to celebrate. The event will run from Sept. 30-Oct. 4. Local high school students will have the opportunity to tour advanced manufacturing facilities and learn more about the many interesting and well-paying jobs the industry has to offer.
Macomb County Planning and Economic Development (MCPED) is seeking companies interested in serving as host sites. Hosting organizations can pick their day and time to participate, which gives them a chance to promote their companies and interact with young people interested in manufacturing careers. Those chaperoned students receive a 90-120-minute guided tour that includes discussions with company leaders and employees.
MFG Day sponsors help offset costs of the event. And in return, sponsors receive recognition and exposure for their involvement. Three sponsorship levels are available. They include: All-In ($3,000); Big Supporter ($2,000); and Contributor ($1,000). Please note that there is a limited number of sponsorship opportunities available.
Organizations wishing to participate in the 2024 celebration, either as a host or a sponsor, should visit macombbusiness.com. The deadline to sign up as a host site is July 31, 2024.
