Manufacturing Day tours offer insight for students

by | Oct 5, 2023 | Area News, Education, Latest

Across the country, Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) is on the first Friday of October. But in Wylie, the annual event that inspires the next generation to make their careers in manufacturing will last a month.

The local partnership is a nod to the national MFG Day initiative from the Manufacturing Institute.
