We’re thrilled to invite you and your students to Manufacturing Day at MTM, an inspiring, hands-on experience designed to introduce the next generation to the exciting world of American manufacturing.
This is not a job fair — it’s a career awareness event that gives students a chance to explore how things are made, discover the technology driving modern manufacturing, and connect what they learn in the classroom to real-world opportunities.
During the visit, students will:
Tour our two labs — Machining and Welding — and see skilled trades in action.
Explore our 650,000 sq. ft. campus, home to innovation, precision, and problem-solving.
Meet local manufacturers who will share their stories, insights, and the many paths into manufacturing careers.
Date: February 25th and 26th
Time: between 8:30 – 2:30 PM both days (you choose just one day)
Location: Major Tool and Machine, 1458 E 19th St., Indianapolis, IN 46218
RSVP: www.majortool.com/mfgday
