Thousands of Potential Sign, Graphics and Visual Communications Workers to Participate in Sign Manufacturing Day 2016
Alexandria, VA – September 21, 2016 — Sign Manufacturing Day 2016 is poised to be larger than ever, with a record 41 participating companies opening up 47 locations throughout the United States and Canada. Sign Manufacturing Day 2016 will be Oct. 7.
The Fourth Annual Sign Manufacturing Day, hosted by the International Sign Association in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers, brings high school, technical and community school students to local sign manufacturing facilities to learn more about careers in the industry. Companies participating in previous years have hired students who attended tours—helping combat a critical skills gap in the industry.
“Sign Manufacturing Day has grown into an amazing event for the sign, graphics and visual communication industry, ISA members and ISA,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “But even more important is the relationship that participating companies have built with local educators, one that pays off throughout the year. This day launches a year-round effort to raise the visibility of the great career options in our industry.”
