The event is part of the national Manufacturing Day programming and aims to introduce high-school students to careers within the manufacturing industry.

Last year, the college’s MADE event welcomed 380 students from across the region who had the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and displays with 23 local manufacturers’ tables while they learned about careers in manufacturing.

The expo’s long-term goal is to help create a talent pipeline within the region.Interested employers can email careerteam@tompkinscortland.edu for more information or to register.
