The International Sign Association (ISA; Alexandria, VA) has announced that 83 companies in 87 locations will participate in Sign Manufacturing Day this year.
The annual showcase of the opportunities in the signage, graphics and visual communications fields is slated for Oct. 4 at locations across the US and Canada. The event, now in its seventh year, is co-sponsored by ISA with the National Association of Manufacturers.
“From the very beginning, our aim with Sign Manufacturing Day was to help sign, graphics and visual communications companies solve the challenge of finding the next generation of workers,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “While the day itself plays an invaluable role in introducing students to our industry, the ongoing relationship with participating schools has led to a pipeline of potential workers that we see continuing to grow.”
According to ISA, participating companies are provided a toolkit that helps them connect with area educators and helps them convey the careers available in the sign, graphics and visual communications industry.
