BCC Showcases Manufacturing Careers to High School Students

Brunswick Community College proudly celebrated Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) on October 25th! This annual event brings local manufacturers together to showcase their work, honor their workforce, and inspire future skilled workers in Brunswick County.
The day began with a behind-the-scenes tour at Precision Swiss Products, giving students a firsthand look at the innovative technology driving today’s manufacturing industry. Afterward, 46 students enjoyed a lunch at Odell Williamson Auditorium and had the chance to engage with a guest speaker from the manufacturing sector, who highlighted educational pathways, career opportunities, and potential earnings within the field.
The event concluded with interactive tours and activities at BCC’s state-of-the-art Integrated Machine Technology Lab in the WJ and Sibyl McLamb Building. Students experienced demonstrations on manual machines, 3-axis, and 8-axis CNC lathes, sparking interest in hands-on learning and manufacturing careers.
Thank you to our incredible partners—Brunswick County Schools, Precision Swiss Products, Chris Anderson from Dominion Air & Machinery, NCWorks, and the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board—for making this event a success and helping shape the future of manufacturing in Brunswick County!
