More than 60 sign and graphics locations across North America will celebrate Sign Manufacturing (MFG) Day and showcase careers in the industry to hundreds of students this Friday, Oct. 3, according to a press release from the International Sign Association (ISA; Alexandria, VA).
Held in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers’ MFG Day, the first Friday of October, Sign MFG Day was created by ISA to introduce the sign industry to high school, community and technical college students. Participating companies have been able to fill open positions, build internships and job shadowing opportunities, and created ongoing partnerships with local schools. As the program grows, the ISA has also deepened relationships with educators through the Association for Career and Technical Education.
“As our industry works to attract fresh talent, Sign Manufacturing Day is a great way to highlight what our industry is all about and help inspire the next generation workforce,” Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO, is quoted in the release.
