Successful Manufacturing Day at MicroGroup Inc.

Tri-County Students Get Inside Look at Modern Manufacturing Technologies and Careers

Due to our Nation’s growing demand for precision manufacturing, the need for a skilled workforce is also increasing. We believe early exposure to potential future manufacturing jobs is extremely important to encourage students with an interest in machining, engineering, and/or technology. By opening our doors to local students as part of “Manufacturing Month,” MicroGroup was able to show them first-hand the exciting opportunities that are available.

In order to give the students an idea of what a modern day manufacturing facility looks like, we wanted them to witness the wide range of our production activities in action. Exposing them to various processes on our manufacturing floor – from designing to producing – and the technology that is employed proved to be extremely valuable.

After touring the facility, the students were greeted by a panel of MicroGroup employees, who provided information about their career paths. The panel was then opened up for a question and answer forum, giving students a deeper sense of the first hand experiences of career choices as well as the manufacturing processes and techniques the employees utilize.
