- Shop Management
October marks the fourth annual Connecticut. Dream It. Do It. Manufacturing Month, officially proclaimed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, to recognize the importance of the nearly 5,000 Connecticut manufacturing companies to the state and to highlight industry career opportunities statewide.
Licensed and led by Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) and funded by the Department of Economic and Community Development, Connecticut. Dream It. Do It. is part of The Manufacturing Institute’s nationwide campaign to dispel misconceptions about manufacturing and attract the creative, skilled young people needed to grow the industry.
More than 200 middle-school boys and girls will join in Manufacturing Mania activities on National Manufacturing Day, Oct. 2, in Bristol, Conn. The program will include displays from manufacturers and higher-education institutions, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, team-based competitions, and guest speakers.
In addition, 160 middle- and high-school girls will attend the Making It Real: Girls & Manufacturing Summit in Groton, Conn., on Oct. 16. The students will learn about manufacturing through interactive activities and hear from leading women in the industry. The event also will include an educator workshop presented by the Connecticut Girls Collaborative on incorporating positive female role models into the classroom.
Manufacturing Month offers activities across the state that showcase the industry. Many manufacturing companies open their doors to the public with tours and open house events. Technical high schools and community colleges also hold special events to introduce their manufacturing programs to prospective students.
