Minneapolis, MN - Manufacturing Day is an annual event, held on October 7 each year, that works to inspire students to pursue a career in manufacturing. On Friday, October 7, WMIA sponsored a Manufacturing Day event, where 28 Coon Rapids High School students visited Lexington Manufacturing Inc. and Hennepin Technical College to learn about careers in the woodworking industry. The students went on a plant tour and learned about the variety of roles in a manufacturing company. The event was a success, with the majority of the attending students noting that they would consider working for a manufacturing company.
