Whether you’re in a classroom, a school auditorium, or a bustling manufacturing floor, Edge Factor helps you turn your MFG Day event into an unforgettable experience!
In the fast-evolving world of manufacturing, the need for a skilled workforce has never been more critical. Yet, many educators and companies struggle to find the resources that can effectively engage students and demonstrate the opportunities within this dynamic field. Manufacturing Day offers a platform to do just that, but to maximize its impact, you need a well-structured plan and high-quality content that resonates with your audience. This is where the Rock MFG Day Toolkit comes in—a resource designed to not only simplify the planning process but also to ensure that your event is both engaging and educational.
Why Manufacturing Day Matters
According to the Manufacturing Institute, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2030 due to the skills gap. Companies that actively engage with students and educators during Manufacturing Day see increased interest in manufacturing careers among participants.
For the last 10+ years, Edge Factor has celebrated MFG DAY across North America by helping our communities inspire students, parents, educators, and community leaders with the Rock MFG Day toolkit. The Edge Factor high-impact media helped take students on an exciting journey “Behind Closed Doors” to meet the teams of manufacturers as well as learn about the technology they use to build the world around us.
