NEW YORK - Sept. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- The Industrial + Technology Assistance Corporation (ITAC) (http://www.itac.org/) will join NYC manufacturers in celebration of the third annual National Manufacturing Day (http://www.itac.org/Events/ManufacturingDay2014/index.html) on Friday, October 3rd. National Manufacturing Day was created to highlight the industry’s positive impact on our recovering economy and recognize the millions of dedicated workers in the field.

As part of the celebration, ITAC is partnering with the NYC Employment & Training Coalition (NYCETC) to host an employer and training provider roundtable and good jobs forum entitled "Manufacturing NYC: Building Skills for the Future (http://www.itac.org/Events/ManufacturingDay2014/index.html)."

The event is geared towards owners and executives of NYC manufacturing companies, as well as NYC’s workforce training providers and educators. It will offer a forum to discuss the hiring and skill needs of NYC’s manufacturing communities, connect manufacturing employers with education and training providers, and highlight the good jobs and career paths in the manufacturing field.
