Manufacturing Month is designed to highlight the importance of manufacturing in the Southern Tier of Western New York. Manufacturing Day is the kickoff for a month of activity focused on manufacturing careers and is held annually on the first Friday in October. MFG Day—Manufacturing Day—helps show the reality of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers and community leaders. As manufacturers seek to fill 4 million high-skill, high-tech and high-paying jobs over the next decade, MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.
This year, manufacturing month will have a strong emphasis on manufacturing technology tours with students, collaboration with existing after school programming, in school presentations, and various other Dream It Do It coordinated events.
The three-county region of Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua served by the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier (MAST) and Dream It Do It Western New York (DIDIWNY) employs over 18,000 people and generates $7.5 billion in manufacturing shipments. Manufacturing in the three- county region accounts for 15% of the total workforce which is well beyond the 8% national average.
