“制造业”计划在10月份突出高技能职业生涯

The SME Education Foundation announced its support of Manufacturing Day, a national grassroots movement created to shine a bright and flattering light on manufacturing, set for October 5, 2012. The effort is sponsored by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA) and the U.S. Commerce Department's Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).

赞助商的目标是加剧制造业，举办开放的房屋，公共旅游，职业讲习班和其他活动，以便尽可能多地介绍新的制造现实：清洁和精益的设施，具有实现先进技术的高技能员工流程。

The Foundation sees this is an opportunity for educators and parents to visit local employers with children, particularly those in middle school, to get them excited about the career opportunities available for those who have critically important STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills.

Studies by the nonprofit Manufacturing Institute and others show that almost 80 percent of Americans believe manufacturing is important to our economic prosperity, standard of living and national security. Yet only 30 percent would encourage their children to go into manufacturing as a career. The hope is that by providing media, educators, parents and kids with an inside look at the high-tech world of manufacturing that percentage will begin to grow.

随着每年的差距生长，学生在学校学习和他们需要的工作中，他们将需要在工作中所需的人，因此制造商越来越困难地找到和雇用合格的员工。通过促进制造业，由NIST MEP中心领导的制造业协会和其他组织表示他们希望删除一些周围制造业的神话。例如，制造业是合格的候选人的坚实，长期职业选择 - 包括将形成明天劳动力的年轻人。

“制造业的目标直接符合我们的使命，激励全国青年在制造相关领域追求教育和职业。我们渴望借助我们的支持，让您的支持措辞，并觉得有足够的制造业参与，影响可能是重要的，“中小企业教育基金会首席执行官CEO。“你可以与人们谈谈你想要改变认识并强调合格未来劳动力的重要性，但看到是相信的。真的没有更好的方法来获得比第一手曝光的信息。“

The SME Education Foundation plans to promote Manufacturing Day through its industry partners including academia, business and industry including SME Chapters and Student Chapters. PRIME (Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education) launched last year by the Foundation, is an inter-connected grid of community-based manufacturers, schools, small businesses and local Chambers of Commerce which will influence the grass roots participation for this event.
