October 5 Event Showcases Manufacturing 技术 to Upstate Students
SC格林维尔 – It may be the best career opportunity many young people have never considered: Manufacturing. It’s back and its nothing like it was decades ago. To get that message out, a coalition of manufacturing advocates created MFG Day. At hundreds of locations around the nation on October 5, manufacturing employers and educators will be sharing a very compelling story.
Case in point: It’s projected that nearly 3.500万个制造业岗位 in the United States must be filled over the next decade, but only about 1.5 million people will possess the necessary skills to do the work. What remains is widely known among manufacturers as the “Skill Gap.”
What is not widely known is that these jobs even exist. 这一切都具有讽刺意味. While most people believe a strong manufacturing sector is vital to economic growth, they no longer consider it a viable career option. They are unaware that advanced 自动化 and robotics have allowed America to regain its competitive foothold.
While an individual factory may no longer hire thousands of employees, the hundreds they do employ are highly-skilled professionals who work in mechanized, 干净的环境, integrating and maintaining robots and automated systems.
他们有稳定的收入. Average entry-level compensation for manufacturing engineers is nearly $60,000. For manufacturing workers overall in the United States, it’s more than $77,000 (制造研究所).
From 9:30 am to 1:30 pm on Wednesday, October 5, 十大正规网堵平台’s 格林维尔校区 -位于1001 Keys Drive – will host employers and industry supporters who will welcome nearly 200 Upstate high school students for a full day of activities and education. 与会者将有机会:
- See game changing technology in action such as robotics, 自动化, 复制器, 3 - d打印机, and more
- View demos, displays, and manufacturing exhibits
- Learn how to gain the skills required to work in the manufacturing field
