Manufacturing Day is coming this October, and Rush County Economic & Community Development Corporation is once again working with local education and employer partners to help students explore careers available close to home.

National Manufacturing Day will be observed on Friday, October 2, 2026. Organized by the Manufacturing Institute, the annual initiative encourages manufacturers and their partners across the country to introduce students, educators and communities to modern manufacturing through plant tours, hands-on experiences, career conversations and other activities.

For Rush County, Manufacturing Day is about more than celebrating an industry.

It is about building a stronger local talent pipeline.
