Livingston County Manufacturing Day

On October 4, Livingston County manufacturers and high schools joined forces during Manufacturing Day — a nationwide effort to expand knowledge of manufacturing career opportunities. For the first time, 12 Livingston County manufacturing companies opened their doors to more than 300 students from Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell, Pinckney, Whitmore Lake, FlexTech, Innovation Academy, and Kensington Woods high schools.

Spearheading the effort was Ann Arbor SPARK and the Economic Development Council of Livingston County along with several Livingston-area education and manufacturing organizations.

“Michigan has a rich history in manufacturing and there are a wealth of manufacturing companies hiring here – a trend we know will continue,” said Phil Santer, senior vice president of Ann Arbor SPARK. “Manufacturing Day is the perfect opportunity for high school students to explore what a skilled trades career offers.”

Manufacturing Day Activities

Activities included guided tours of facilities and Mott Community College to learn more about the post-secondary opportunities for students who may pursue careers in the manufacturing industry. Student groups toured three participating employers where they will had an opportunity to learn more about each company.
