Sign MFG Day 2022 will feature companies from around the world, all opening their manufacturing facilities to highlight careers in signs, graphics and visual communications on Friday, October 7.
Sign MFG Day is sponsored by the International Sign Association (ISA) in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). It is held annually on the first Friday in October, though participants are free to choose another date to work around school schedules or production deadlines.
Since ISA developed the program in 2015, hundreds of companies have used the day to showcase careers in the industry. Many have gone on to hire students they met at the event, or to deepen relationships with local high school, technical and community colleges.
“This one day is an important step in solving an existential threat to our industry: recruiting new workers,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “Companies who have participated in Sign MFG Day have told me the value it brings to their existing employees who love talking about their work. And students have had their eyes opened to a vibrant industry with great career opportunities—an industry that few students knew existed before participating in the event.”
It’s not too late to participate in 2022, either on October or at a later date. Companies who participate receive a toolkit from ISA, which provides details on how to work with local schools and plan the day.
