Sac County Manufacturers Opening Doors To Students On National Manufacturing Day

October is Manufacturing Month, and next Wednesday, Oct. 26 will mark National Manufacturing Day. Nearly 200 students and teachers from East Sac County middle and high schools, Ridge View middle school and Odebolt-Arthur Battle Creek-Ida Grove (OABCIG) high school will be touring Sac County manufacturers. On this day, the businesses are encouraged to open their doors to address misconceptions, improve the public perception and to showcase 21st century manufacturing. The student visits were coordinated by Sac Economic and Tourism Development, who says this is a way for businesses to connect with future generations and begin to address the skilled labor shortage many manufacturers are facing. The students will be touring Lundell Plastics Corporation in Odebolt, VT Industries in Sac City, Western Iowa Energy, Inc. of Wall Lake and Evapco, Inc. of Lake View. Representatives from Iowa State Extension and Outreach, Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and Iowa WORKS will also tour with the students on Wednesday.
