Are You Ready for MFG Day?
MFG Day is Friday, October 2, 2026
Held annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the month, MFG Day — Manufacturing Day — helps show the reality and future of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, educators and community leaders.
As manufacturers seek to fill 3.8 million high-skill, high-tech and high-paying jobs over the next decade, MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges and build excitement about manufacturing careers so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.
