STUDENTS

“I would advise anyone to compete in Project MFG’s competitions because it’s truley a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” 

INSTRUCTORS

Darin Chase,

Everett Community College

“Since competing in the Project MFG National Championship last year, we now have a wait-list for new students wishing to enroll in our program.” 

Joe Bauer,

Yuba College

“Not only has competing put us on the map, I have students that seek us out because we compete in Project MFG competitions.” 

Patrick Murphy,

“Up until last year, our students had only worked on 3-axis machines, they demonstrated remarkable adaptability and ingenuity, competing on a 5-axis machine and ultimately placing 3rd in the Project MFG Clash of Trades.” 

HOST SITES

We're looking for competition host sites for the upcoming season

Benefits of becoming a site host:
  1. A Direct Recruiting Pipeline: Meet motivated high school students in your region who are already interested in trade careers — and introduce them to your program in person.
  2. Regional Visibility & Community Leadership: Position your school as a partner of Project MFG and a champion of manufacturing workforce development for local youth. This creates positive press and strengthens your ties with industry partners and schools.
  3. Stronger Industry Relationships: Hosting an event attracts local sponsors, employers, and educators — opening doors for future, donations, and partnerships.
  4. Showcasing Your Facilities & Faculty: High school aged competitors, their parents, educators and everyone who watches our Youtube channel, see your machines, your lab, and your instructors firsthand helping you market your program as a next step in their educational journey.
  5. National Recognition: Hosting a Project MFG event allows your facility to be spotlighted on a national stage for its commitment to skilled trade education.
