Why a Video Contest about Manufacturing?
The purpose of this contest is to show what it’s really like to work in manufacturing. Many people don’t realize how manufacturing has changed in the last twenty years and they think there are no jobs. But there really are! There are some great opportunities to have a rewarding, lifelong career with great pay. Participants produced one to three minute videos showcasing career opportunities in manufacturing.
High school students from Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee, and Wexford counties were invited to participate.
A special thank you to all the northern Michigan manufacturers who participated by allowing the student teams to shoot video at their facilities. Those manufacturers are: ACAT Global, Britten, Inc., Coding Products, DCL, Grand Traverse Machine, Industrial Magnetics, Kalkaska Screw Products, Michigan Scientific, Petoskey Plastics, Precision Edge, Rec Boat Holdings, RJG, Skilled Manufacturing, and Trend Services. Thanks also to the Northwest Michigan Industrial Association.
