Sponsorship Info

  • The AMFA Educational Council will organize and schedule your tours with participating manufacturers.
  • Schools can reach out to local manufacturers to request swag or materials to do manufacturing projects in their classrooms; and help students understand the successful career pathways available in manufacturing.

The 2026 virtual map will highlight all the in-person and private tours scheduled in October and throughout the year.

This map is shared with local schools and communities to encourages parents, students, teachers, nonprofits, and job seekers to understand the career pathways available to them in manufacturing.

AMFA's goals for Manufacturing Month are to educate potential employees about careers in manufacturing, tour local manufacturing facilities, assist manufacturers, and increase the value of AMFA.
