Hosted by Greater Lafayette Commerce, this engaging program aims to reshape perceptions of modern manufacturing and connect K-12 students with potential careers in the field. Taking place yearly in the first week of October, Manufacturing Week highlights the importance of the region’s manufacturing sector by offering K-12 students a hands-on look at high-tech careers in advanced manufacturing and logistics. The program is open to all public, private and homeschool students in the Greater Lafayette area.

"Manufacturing Week is an important way for our youth to discover the diverse and rewarding career paths available in our local manufacturing sector," said City of Lafayette Mayor, Tony Roswarski. "We're proud to support this initiative that not only enriches our students’ educational experience but also strengthens our community’s workforce." 

Manufacturing Week features hands-on experiences for elementary students, immersive activities for middle school students and tours of manufacturing facilities for high school students. The program serves nine counties and 27 public school districts.
