Manufacturing Tours
Council of Industry members open their doors for manufacturing tours, connecting students, educators, and community leaders to the region’s innovation.
For decades these tours have highlighted our region’s innovation, connected manufacturers with students, educators, and community leaders, helping build a strong talent pipeline for the future.
The Council convenes these tours not only to showcase members’ capabilities, but to also create valuable opportunities for manufacturers through learning from one another. By attending tours hosted by their peers, members gain unique access to see innovations in action, exchange best practices, and strengthen relationships across the industry.
What to Expect
Every manufacturing tour is unique, shaped by the audience and purpose.
Some tours inspire students and educators through hands-on activities and presentations. Others welcome community leaders or elected officials, highlighting the importance of your sector and your ability to thrive in the region. Another can bring manufacturers together to share innovations and network with peers.
By partnering with the Council of Industry, members gain access to a broader audience and light logistical support, ensuring that both your company, and your tour, remain front and center.
