FLATE’s cohesive strategy for MFG Day/Month has successfully enabled students, parents, educators, statewide-mfg-day-graphic-v2-high-res-final-iimanufacturers and the community at large throughout Florida to participate in statewide Manufacturing Month events and industry tours. These industry tours and events are critical in giving each participant an up-close look at this dynamic high-tech, high-skilled world of manufacturing that offers a diversity of high paying jobs and careers. This year FLATE and its network of statewide worked cohesively with school districts and industry partners across to coordinate, organize and host 172 Manufacturing day/month industry tours and events across Florida. Approximately 3762 middle, high school and college students, 55 chaperones that included parents and educators from 13 counties in Florida toured 124 high-tech industry sites across Florida to get a 360 degree view of manufacturing, and how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) concepts are applied and integrated in everyday high-tech manufacturing operations.
