Sign Manufacturing Day October 1, 2021
Sign Manufacturing Day Makes a Difference!
Sign Manufacturing Day is a wonderful way to share the many exciting and diverse job opportunities that exist within our industry as well as showcase the importance of manufacturing to the US economy. Over the past few years, several participating companies were asked about jobs, internships and job-shadowing possibilities. Sign Manufacturing Day, held this year on Friday, October 1, is a way to engage students and teachers in the sign and visual communications industry, build awareness of the jobs and careers that are available within our industry and showcase the importance of manufacturing to the US economy.
Catch the attention of those trying to connect the dots between their skills, talents and career on Sign Manufacturing Day next month, as companies in the sign, graphics and visual communications industry host facility tours to encourage exploration of exciting and diverse career opportunities within the industry. It can be a great opportunity for you to find the new employees you’ve been looking for!
