    LEWIS COUNTY MANUFACTURERS HOST MANUFACTURING DAY

    LOWVILLE, NY:  Local students from grades 8 through 12 toured local
    manufacturing facilities in Lewis, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties on
    October 17, 2019 to celebrate the annual nationwide event, Manufacturing Day.

    Nationally, Manufacturing Day is put on by the Manufacturing Institute, an arm of
    the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), with the idea to promote
    modern manufacturing practices and jumpstart new approaches to growing the
    manufacturing talent pool.

    The true inspiration behind Manufacturing Day is to show our next generation
    how they can make a difference and find future careers in manufacturing.  The
    intent is also to introduce the variety of technical and professional careers that
    are available in the manufacturing sector and to make it clear that manufacturers
    need the next generation as future employees.

    Locally, the Jefferson-Lewis Workforce Development offices, Lewis County
    Economic Development, Jefferson County Economic Development, CITEC
    Business Solutions and the Jeff-Lewis BOCES partner to expose students to the
    local manufacturers and potential future jobs.

    In the tri-county area, twenty-two local manufacturers hosted tours, with over 900
    students participating.  In Lewis County alone, eight manufacturers hosted local
    students, including Grand Slam Safety, Croghan, NY, Johnson Lumber,
    Denmark, NY, Neenah Paper, Lowville, NY, QubicaAMF, Lowville, NY, Lydall,
    Beaver Falls, NY, Omniafiltra, Beaver Falls, NY, OTIS Technology, Lyons Falls,
    NY and Viking-Cives, Harrisville, NY.

    Students were able to tour facilities and get a firsthand look at various
    manufacturing processes, learn about the variety of careers within
    manufacturing, and were able to participate in hands on activities.  Ultimately,
    local manufacturers reap the benefit of engaging future workforce in hopes of
    filling jobs in the future.
