Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Honda today is hosting students and teachers across the U.S. virtually on National Manufacturing Day to highlight modern manufacturing and the exciting career opportunities available in the industry.

Honda is taking a virtual approach to this celebration of manufacturing for the second year in a row, augmenting the experience by enabling students and teachers to choose their own path and participate in a variety of virtual workshops that highlight areas of manufacturing unique to #honda.

Honda is hosting 10 virtual workshops Oct. 1 at its plants in Ohio, Georgia, Indiana, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina. Associates from several #honda facilities will participate in live question-and-answer sessions with students, providing valuable insights into the industry and the benefits it provides to society.

These workshops will enable students to learn about transmissions that #honda builds in its plants in Ohio and Georgia, or about engine production through a presentation at Honda's Anna (Ohio) Engine Plant. Students also can join the company's South Carolina Manufacturing team to see how all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and side-by-side vehicles are made. Additionally, students can discover more about production robots, power equipment (like lawnmowers and generators) or automobiles. All of these #honda business areas are covered in virtual workshops that take place on October 1.

To add to the fun, students can participate in a virtual escape room and watch videos on HondaFutureWorkforce.com. Students also can participate in two #honda trivia sessions that will create a fun opportunity for the students to learn more about manufacturing.

"National Manufacturing Day is a great way for us to engage with students and teachers to highlight the unique and varied career opportunities available at #honda," said Rick Schostek, executive vice president at America #honda Motor Co., Inc. "Our future will be defined by the workforce we can attract to manufacturing careers at #honda, and it is important to illustrate the significant roles our associates play in making our products though these virtual workshops."

Almost 200 teachers were invited to take part in the virtual workshops at #honda, focusing on the opportunities available to students through a career in manufacturing.
