How can I participate in Manufacturing Month?
- Manufacturers can offer in-person or virtual tours; reach out to local schools and offer presentations about manufacturing career pathways; sponsor schools' VEX Robotics programs; or set up scholarships with local colleges.
- Schools can reach out to local manufacturers to request personalized tours for their teachers and students; ask local businesses for swag or materials to do manufacturing projects in their classrooms; and help students understand the successful career pathways available in manufacturing.
Grant information to assist with bussing expenses will be available to schools who tour manufacturers that participate in the CMMA Tour of Manufacturing Magazine.
Central Minnesota Tour of Manufacturing 2026
The 2026 virtual magazine will highlight all the in-person and private tours scheduled in October and throughout the year.
This magazine 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.
CMMA goals for Manufacturing Month are to educate potential employees about careers in manufacturing, tour local manufacturing facilities, assist manufacturers, and increase the value of CMMA.
