New Hampshire is one of 37 states marking National Manufacturing Day on Oct. 4 and, beginning Oct. 7, events throughout the state are planned at manufacturing plants — including open houses and tours — as well as at high schools and community colleges with manufacturing programs.
The goal is to highlight the industry and focus on the career opportunities available.
“This will be a great chance for manufacturers to open their doors to the community, high school students and their parents and talk about the great need for workers with advanced manufacturing skills,” said Zenagui Brahim, executive director of the New Hampshire Manufacturing Extension Partnership. “New Hampshire manufacturing is still the driver for innovation, wealth and job creation.”
The theme for the 11th annual summit, set for Thursday, Oct. 11, is “Manufacturing Matters.” Keynote speaker will be Harry Moser, founder of The Reshoring Initiative, an industry-led effort to return manufacturing jobs to the U.S.
