How About a Career in Racing?
11.17.2016
On October 26, 2016 Okuma and Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) joined forces to host a Manufacturing Day event designed to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. The event, held in conjunction with the annual national Manufacturing Day celebration, gave local high school students the opportunity to tour CGR’s facility and learn how CNC machining and modern manufacturing play an important role in racing as well as a number of industries.
Career Options
Students toured CGR’s machine shop (home to several Okuma machine tools), and their sub assembly, heavy fab and final assembly departments, and spoke with several professionals in their respective areas of expertise. They were educated on various roles and careers, and learned about the education level and experience needed to obtain jobs as engineers, machine tool operators, and programmers.

Inspiring the Next Generation
“U.S. manufacturers face a significant shortfall in qualified, skilled workers and the skills gap increases every year. As manufacturing professionals we feel it’s important to show students the wide variety of career paths in the industry. Partnering with CGR is a step in the right direction to inspire the next generation of manufacturers,” says Brittany Russell, Okuma America training program manager.
