On October 2, New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program, Inc. (NJMEP), a not-for-profit organization that works with New Jersey’s small to mid-sized businesses to help them improve their bottom-line while meeting and exceeding customer expectations, will host their own event for National Manufacturing Day. Manufacturing Day℠ is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers.
Manufacturing Day’s mission is to address common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is and what it isn’t. The event is designed to amplify the voice of individual manufacturers and coordinate a collective chorus of manufacturers with common concerns and challenges. Learn more about Manufacturing Day on their official website!
In an effort to collaborate with NJMEP to address the skilled labor shortage in the industry, Atlas Bronze has decided to sponsor the event at The Palace at Somerset Park! Being a manufacturing business in New Jersey, we’re so excited to participate in the event to connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.
There will be plenty of inspiring and education segments throughout the day, including keynote addresses from Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno and Dennis Bone, Director of the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship at Montclair State.
An insightful panel on “Attracting the Next Generation to a Career in Manufacturing” will feature industry pros such as Jonathan Moore, Director of Talent Acquisition at L’OrĂ©al; Stacy Saunders, Member of Talent Acquisition Team at Triangle Manufacturing Co; and Tarakshaya Bhati, Student of Rutgers University and Experience Manufacturing Participant. The President of the Summit Group, Gary Pezzuti, will moderate it. Check out the full agenda for the event has been listed here!
