During the month of October and throughout the year, we continue to celebrate diversity. 13.Manufacturing Day Held annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the month, Manufacturing Day highlights the reality of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers, and community leaders.
