Today, Kyle Holbrook, Career and Technical Education program specialist for Sarasota County Schools, Tripp Jennings, assistant director of Career and Technical Education K-12 for Sarasota County Schools and various personnel from PGT Innovations will celebrate National Manufacturing Day with students involved with the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program from Pine View School, Riverview High School, Suncoast Polytechnical High School and Venice High School . CTE students will be touring PGT Innovations, one of Florida’s leading window and door manufacturers and Sarasota County’s largest private employer, and will witness product demonstrations, as well as interact with industry professionals to get a sense of a “typical day” in their career. Held annually on the first Friday in October, Manufacturing Day helps students understand modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, teachers and the community alike for the investment of future innovators and creators.
