Celebrating Manufacturing Month

Stewart Manufacturing, LLC

Manufacturing Day℠ is an annual event during which North American manufacturers open their doors to showcase the potential of modern manufacturing and foster interest in manufacturing careers.

On Oct. 6 we opened our doors to over 60 students and staff from the Delta Schoolcraft ISD to celebrate National Manufacturing Day. Students enrolled in machine tool and pre-engineering courses at the ISD, learned about day-to-day manufacturing operations and projects through a facility tour and company presentation.

MFGDAY“This tour does major things in the life of my students and my classroom,” said Delta Schoolcraft ISD machine tool instructor Darrel Mullins. “Stewart Manufacturing has been and continues to be a major player in helping our program to become better, and helps students become basic skilled workers ready to learn more in the industry.”

Another facility tour took place on Wednesday, Oct. 25 for students from Stephenson High School. Following the tour, students learned about the various job opportunities available in manufacturing. Stewart Manufacturing employees who work in the information technology (IT), engineering, human resources, public relations, and manufacturing operations departments participated with students in a Q&A panel where students were able to ask employees about their job duties, education, and past work experiences.

It’s that time of the year again – the time to give! We are partnering with Upper Edge this New Year for the 2nd annual Delta Schoolcraft ISD Blood Drive! By donating you will not only help save a life, but contribute to a student’s education. For every pint of blood given, American Red Cross will provide a scholarship for a student attending the Delta Schoolcraft ISD. Roughly 30 pints were donated last year and a student was awarded a $250 scholarship.

This month Stewart Manufacturing sponsored Bay College’s new program Inventing with Gizmos and Gadgets. This recent program consists of 4 sessions split into two weeks. Children ages 7-12 were taught the concept of engineering by building inventions – throwing arms, security devices and art machines are just to name a few.

This past December, Stewart Manufacturing partnered with Upper Edge of Delta County to sponsor a blood drive put on by American Red Cross at the Delta Schoolcraft ISD. As American Red Cross is known for their generosity in scholarship programs, they agreed to fund a scholarship based on the amount of pints donated. With the help of many students, staff and the rest of Delta County, 30 pints of blood were collected, and the Delta Schoolcraft ISD will be funded a $250 scholarship from American Red Cross this spring.
