GREENSBURG, IN — Honda played host virtually to students and teachers Friday on National Manufacturing Day as a way to highlight modern manufacturing and career opportunities in the industry.
One of the virtual workshops was held at the Indiana Auto Plant in Greensburg, where associates shared insights about advanced manufacturing and how the plant builds the Honda Insight hybrid sedan and the Honda Civic Hatchback.
Honda took 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 hosted 10 virtual workshops at its plants in Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Associates from several Honda facilities participated in live question-and-answer sessions with students, providing insights into the industry and the benefits it provides to society.
These workshops enabled 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 had the opportunity to join the company’s South Carolina Manufacturing team to see how all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and side-by-side vehicles are made.
Additionally, students could discover more about production robots, power equipment (such as lawnmowers and generators), or automobiles.
Recordings of the workshops will be available this week at HondaFutureWorkforce.com.
In addition to National Manufacturing Day activities, Honda will host workshops throughout October to promote careers in manufacturing.
