Background:
The City of Broken Arrow is promoting Manufacturing Month in October of 2019. Manufacturing Month was developed to improve public perception of manufacturing and is supported by thousands of manufacturers as they host students, teachers, parents, job seekers and other local community members at open houses designed to showcase modern manufacturing technology and careers nationwide. It is a national celebration of modern manufacturing designed to inspire the next generation on how they can make a difference through manufacturing, give guidance on how to take first steps in starting a career in modern manufacturing, effectively communicate that manufacturers need the next generation, show students, parents and educators the opportunity, creativity, possibility and accomplishment that comes with a career in manufacturing. The City of Broken Arrow ranks third in the State of Oklahoma for manufacturing and more than 7,000 employees represent more than 300 local manufacturers within the City of Broken Arrow. Thus, it is requested that the City proclaim the month of October of 2019 as Manufacturing Month.
