Manufacturing Day Helps Change Perception of Industry

FABTECH
Manufacturing Day℠ 2015 has far exceeded expectations of scale and impact, reaching more than 400,000 participants and improving the public’s perception of manufacturing. MFG DAY addresses common misperceptions by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t. Teachers, students, parents/influencers, and employers shared their perspective on Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY®) using the new Deloitte perception survey developed in collaboration with The Manufacturing Institute. The survey was distributed to more than 2,500 manufacturing hosts across the United States to gather national data from teachers, students and parents on how MFG DAY events truly make a difference in local communities. See the infographic below summarizing the results of the 2015 survey and learn more in the news release found here. manufacturingDay_infographic
