October 7th Officially Kicked off Manufacturing Day
Manufacturing is the backbone of America's economy. Manufacturing day is a celebration of our great manufacturers that support the movement to inspire the next generation of great creators.
-- Throughout the month of October many of our local businesses right here in Chemung County have opened their doors to students of local schools. Providing them with tours of their facilities and showing students the quality of life that manufacturing occupations can provide.
-- In our county there are 88 local manufacturing businesses employing over 5,000 people. The average salary of these positions is $67,000.
-- The Chemung County Chamber of Commerce and Career Development Council have made it possible to have students walk right into the doors of these organizations and see everyday life in a manufacturing facility.
-- The goal of this is not only to raise awareness to the employment deficit, but also for students in the local community to gain insight into these organizations that are right in their hometown.
-- We would love to thank our partners who participated in MFG DAY one way or another: CAF, Kennedy Valve, STCF, SEPAC, Cameron, Eaton, Hardinge, Fennell, Chemung Supply, Hilliard, and Cemecon.
