Manufacturing Day was a great success!

Thank you to all the schools and companies that helped showcase the numerous manufacturing possibilities in Indiana.

We welcomed in 1,200 high school students to showcase the incredible career opportunities currently available in manufacturing along with several other phenomenal central Indiana partners.

Students were able to experience manufacturing up close and personal including 3D manufacturing, robotics, virtual reality, and much more.

Manufacturing in Indiana makes up 1/3rd of the state’s economy, with the average worker in Indiana making $77,573 annually.

Thank you again to all the volunteers and participants that made this incredible event possible.

MTM was featured on an Inside Indiana Business interview with Conexus Indiana CEO Mark Howell highlighting our upcoming MFG Day event which is scheduled to have over 1,200 high school students attend. The interview went on to discuss the existing challenges in the manufacturing industry and the skills gap that continues to challenge the industry. Fast forward to 4:00 to view the MTM footage.

From the article:

Indiana has the highest concentration of manufacturing workers in the country, but the industry’s negative perception is hurting talent attraction efforts.
