On October 1, some 61 sign, graphics and visual communications companies will open up their doors, showcasing career opportunities to students as part of Sign MFG Day.
Sign MFG Day is sponsored by the International Sign Association in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers. It is held annually on the first Friday in October, though participants are free to choose another date to work around school schedules.
“Sign MFG Day is a key solution to the challenge of finding new workers,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “Past participants have built ongoing relationships with local high schools, community colleges and technical schools, developing internships, co-op programs and job shadowing. This has led to many new hires, solving a critical need for these companies.”
To help participating companies, ISA held a series of informative webinars and distributed a step-by-step guide to help companies make the most of the day.
