Manufacturing Day is strongly supported by the Rolla Technical Institute, who will be bringing students to participate in the day’s activities. The day will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about careers available in manufacturing and the careers that support manufacturing. It will also give the students a chance to learn more about internships and co-op opportunities available in our region.
The Women in Engineering students from the Rolla Junior High School will also attend Manufacturing Day to learn more about the products and opportunities for personal and professional growth that are available through manufacturing.
St. James R-1 School District will be bringing several students from the Careers Class to Manufacturing Day to help the students learn more about the wide variety of skills and career opportunity required for today’s manufacturer to compete globally.
Manufacturing Day provides a way to educate the future workforce about careers in manufacturing, show the diversity found in those careers, and help people learn more about the expectations of today’s manufacturer. By working together, manufacturers can connect with future generations to address the skilled labor shortage faced by many manufacturers.
