CMTC Supports Manufacturers, Facilities and Colleges as They Open Their Doors for National Manufacturing Day on October 4, 2019

This Friday, October 4, 2019, manufacturers across California and the nation will open their doors to participate in Manufacturing Day events, kicking off a series of activities throughout the month of October. This annual celebration gives small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) the chance to showcase their facilities and career opportunities to students, educators, elected officials and the media. Throughout the state visitors will learn about real job opportunities, career paths, training and available industry resources.

CMTC has actively participated in, and promoted, Manufacturing Day since its inception in 2012. This year, CMTC and its California’s Manufacturing Network are sponsoring, organizing and coordinating events statewide throughout the month of October under the Manufacturing Month – CA banner. CMTC is committed in pairing up schools wishing to attend Manufacturing Day events with manufacturers and other organizations hosting open houses, career fairs, and expos. CMTC and its California’s Manufacturing Network have set a goal to have events at more than 250 locations throughout the state.

At these events, students will receive first-hand exposure about today’s manufacturing technologies in industries the employ highly-skilled and well paid individuals while offering exciting, rewarding, innovative work environments.

CMTC is one of fifty-one Centers across the nation in the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network which is part of the U.S. Government’s effort to develop and deploy technology, management and technical expertise for SMMs focused on improving their productivity and global competitiveness.
