We published our

SVCTE Students Tour Local Manufacturing Partners
|
|
San Jose celebrated national Manufacturing Day 2017 by hosting 40 tours with more than 800 students from five school districts. They toured 11 manufacturing companies in the city on October 5 and 6.
"San Jose continues to play an important role in helping reinvigorate American tech manufacturing," said Mayor Sam Liccardo. "We will continue to engage with a wide array of partners in our community to facilitate the growth of San José's tech manufacturing sector and the jobs they create for our residents."
Participating manufacturers included Acosta Sheet Metal, BD Biosciences, Bentek, Bestronics, BriteLab, Celestica, Naprotek, Therma, Vander-Bend, and Zoll Circulation. Jabil's Blue Sky Center in South San Jose, a state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing facility, hosted an open house on October 6, showcasing new technologies. Our SVCTE Internet Engineering class is in the above photo with teacher Kory Keadle (far left).
Participating students came from East Side Union High School District, San Jose Unified High School District, Metropolitan Education District, Oak Grove School District, and Campbell Unified High School District. The San Jose Office of Economic Development worked in conjunction with the Silicon Valley Organization's Strive Internship Program in securing the schools' participation.
Created by Founding Partner Fabricators and Manufacturers Association, International in 2012, MFG DAY has enjoyed support from many organizations aligned with its mission of positively changing the public perception of modern manufacturing.

Live music and free haircuts were provided at the outreach event, and SVCTE students helped serve a hot-lunch meal.
