            Hobart institute Hosts tour for national

            ManufaCturing day


            In celebration of the 12 million talented men
            and women who work in the industry, October
            5 was designated as National Manufacturing
            Day, an initiative started by the National
            Association  of Manufacturers.    The  day
            is  designed  to  expand  knowledge  about
            and  improve  general  public  perception  of
            manufacturing  careers  and  manufacturing’s
            value to the U.S. economy.

            A  group  of  Troy  High  School  students,
            primarily  juniors  and  seniors,  along  with
            representatives  from  the  Troy  Development
            Council  (TDC) of the  Troy  Area  Chamber
            of Commerce  toured  the  Hobart Institute
            of  Welding  Technology (HIWT) to learn
            about  real  career  opportunities,  training,
            and  resources  available  to  them  in  their
            community.  Following their morning visit
            to HIWT, the group traveled to Kerber Sheet   Scott  Mazzulla,  Director  of  Planning  and  Development  of  Hobart  Institute,  answers
            Metal, SEW Eurodrive, Freudenberg,  Miami     questions for Troy High School students as they tour the Institute.
            Jacobs  Career College, Clopay, and Stillwater
            Technologies, all companies in Troy, to learn
            more about these manufacturing facilities.

            In addition, the State Legislature of Ohio designated October as Manufacturing Month in the State. Companies across the
            United States participated by holding open houses and other activities for the public.

            According to J.C. Wallace, President of the Troy Development Council, “Students are the workforce of the future and the TDC
            provided students with information packets about manufacturing in the area.”

            The students were interested in career opportunities available to dedicated workers, the required training to reach their goals,
            and the expectations of professional attitude within the manufacturing industry.
