National Manufacturing Day @ CCCC
National Manufacturing Day is an opportunity to showcase industry in our area and show students, parents, educators, and the general public the diversity of today’s manufacturing environment. This year, with COVID-19 restrictions, it will look a little different and Central Carolina Community College is going virtual! We will still promote our manufacturers by posting videos and providing learning opportunities for teachers and students. As industry addresses the shortage of skilled labor in their workforce, learning about this lucrative career path is more important than ever! In 2019 alone, manufacturers provided greater than 473,000 good paying jobs in North Carolina and that number continues to grow in pharmaceutical, computer/IT devices, automotive, food and beverage products, metal fabrication and machining, etc. Join our event and learn more!
