Some 60 sign and graphics locations are celebrating Sign MFG Day, showcasing careers in the industry to hundreds of students.
While Sign MFG Day is marked on the first Friday in October, many participating companies choose a more convenient time and several host multiple events throughout the year.
Sign MFG Day was created to introduce the industry to high school, community and technical college students. In the decade since it began, participating companies have filled open positions, built internships and job shadowing opportunities and created ongoing partnerships with local schools.
As the program has grown, ISA has deepened relationships with educators, working with the Association for Career and Technical Education. This connects ISA and the sign and graphics industry to teachers whose students will be the future workforce. ISA will participate in ACTE’s upcoming annual event this winter, introducing even more teachers who want their students to tour sign and graphics companies.
Missed out on 2025? It’s not too late. ISA has created a toolkit to help recruit schools and plan an event at a convenient time. Learn more at www.signs.org/mfgday.
Sign MFG Day is held in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers’ MFG Day, the first Friday each October.
