October is Manufacturing Month
The State of Wisconsin has declared October 2022 Manufacturing Month. Join Wisconsin DPI in this celebration as we promote manufacturing and manufacturing careers and education along with these great partners:
- Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD)
- Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR)
- Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC)
- Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership (WMEP)
- Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS), and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC)
The DPI will join the national celebration of manufacturing in our schools. We recognize that manufacturing can empower a student to define their own success through the multitude of opportunities available. It is a career that requires skill, thought, and creativity. Manufacturing offers a wide range of career paths for a student to pursue - like sales, working the assembly line, carpentry, computer programming, or engineering. A career in manufacturing means more than a life filled with hard labor and little growth.
