all about.  The fourth industrial revolution is rapidly changing our world. New advanced manufacturing technologies bring about whole new careers, requiring a skilled workforce interested in pursuing them. From bioengineers, to data analysts to robotics technicians, and all of the operations in between, there is a place for everyone in manufacturing!</p><p>Together with the National Association of Manufacturers, The Manufacturing Institute, MEP Centers, and federal agency partners, the Manufacturing USA network celebrates the manufacturers who make the products that keep us safe, enrich our lives, strengthen our economic and national security, and provide countless opportunities for our communities and workforce. <a href="https://www.mfgday.com/#find" rel="noreferrer">Host or find an event and get involved.</a><strong> #MFGDay24</strong></p><h3 class="green-heading">Resources</h3><p><a href="https://www.mfgday.com/resources/mfg-day-toolkit/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>MFG Day Marketing Toolkit</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.mfgday.com/resources/mfg-day-host-toolkit/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>Tips for Hosting an Event</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.mfgday.com/get-involved/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>Raise Awareness </strong></a></p><h2 class="dark-blue-heading">Demystifying Careers in Advanced Manufacturing</h2><p>Have you explored the world of advanced manufacturing?
