SME launches #MFGis campaign to create awareness of career opportunities

Dearborn, Mich.-based SME, an organization dedicated to supporting manufacturing through training, events, media, and membership, has launched #MFGis, an awareness campaign to help students, educators, professionals, and companies share what manufacturing means to them through storytelling, social media, and multimedia.

The campaign allows individuals and organizations to share compelling stories of how manufacturing has affected their lives. SME welcomes submissions about career and education experiences, family and company stories, and new technologies in manufacturing.

The campaign has launched with the theme “#MFGis generational” and features Rodney Grover, an SME Education Foundation staff member who has been involved in the manufacturing industry since the age of 12. Grover, a third-generation manufacturing professional, tells how his grandfather and father inspired him to pursue a career in manufacturing, and how he hopes to have passed that passion and inspiration onto his two children. His story can be viewed here.

More information and criteria for submission can be found at www.sme.org/mfgis.
