Newark, CA
Home MenuWe’re excited to announce the return of Manufacturing Week to Newark for its third year! This annual event, anchored by Manufacturing Day – a nationally recognized celebration held on the first Friday of October – aims to change outdated perceptions of the manufacturing industry and to improve the appeal of these important careers.
While manufacturing once had a reputation for being dirty, unsafe, and repetitive, today it’s a dynamic field offering a wide range of high-paying jobs. From automation to operations and planning, IT, microbiology, packaging, and so much more, there are diverse opportunities for both college graduates and those entering the workforce directly from high school. The SF Bay Area, in particular, has become a global manufacturing hub for California and the United States in the last two decades.
Newark businesses ATUM, Allogene, Nefab, Resource Label Group, Triple Ring Technologies, and Verdagy have contributed to the success of Manufacturing Week in previous years, and we’re thrilled to continue sharing engaging experiences this year. Continue reading for details about the exciting events being offered to high school students this year to explore this evolving and exciting industry!
