Platte County Students Participate in 2017 National Manufacturing Day

Platte County Park Hill, Platte County R-3, and Northland Career Center students participated in National Manufacturing Day activities on Friday, October 6th. Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers and takes place on the first Friday in October. MFG DAY addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by allowing manufacturers to open their doors and show what manufacturing is.

A total of 86 students had the opportunity to tour 5 local advanced manufacturing companies: Multivac, Haldex, Challenge Manufacturing, Aviation Technical Services, and Harley-Davidson. Students toured the facility floors and saw equipment being manufactured firsthand. They visited the different departments to learn about career opportunities available in the industry and the education required for different positions.
