(SME: Dearborn, MI) -- SME, an organization dedicated to supporting manufacturing through training, events, media, and membership, has announced #MFGis, an awareness campaign to help students, educators, professionals, and companies tell their stories of “what manufacturing is” through storytelling, social media, and multimedia.

The #MFGis campaign allows individuals and organizations to share compelling stories of how manufacturing has affected them, or what manufacturing means to them. SME welcomes submissions about career and education experiences, family and company stories, and new technologies in manufacturing.

“Manufacturing is high-tech, innovative, and an amazing career opportunity,” says Wayne Frost, CEO of SME. “Those of us who have been part of the industry know that, and through #MFGis, SME has created a new forum to tell manufacturing stories, dispel stereotypes, and create awareness of the lucrative careers that are available.”
