UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR 2024. Join the South Bend Regional Chamber and Greater Niles Chamber as we partner with businesses and educators to shine a spotlight on local manufacturers and manufacturing career opportunities. Since the first MFG Day in 2014, 75+ industry and education/training partners and more than 6,000 students and educators from two states, six counties and 19 high schools and adult ed programs have connected through MFG Days in the South Bend Region. The digital resources launched in 2020 extended the reach to even more students, educators, parents and community members--with over 16,000 page views to date.

MFG Days 2023 will kick off October 6 with the launch of updated digital resources. Student tours and virtual career chats will be coordinated throughout October and November, and we will continue to connect students and educators to employer partners throughout the year.

Your partnership illuminates education and career pathways for our region’s future workforce!
