Overcash AspireCentral Piedmont is proud to announce the Central Campus will serve as a host location and tour stop for the “Creators Wanted” campaign, Nov. 15 – 20, 2021. 

The National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute, the 501(c)(3) non-profit education and workforce development partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, launched the campaign earlier this year. It’s the manufacturing industry’s largest campaign to build the workforce of tomorrow and inspire, educate and empower a new generation of creators in the United States.

“Creators Wanted” is a mobile experience, designed to bring the story of modern manufacturing to communities across the country with the purpose of promoting growth and employment within the manufacturing industry.  

Each tour stop includes the “Creators Wanted” mobile exhibit – a large 53-foot trailer – as well as a variety of other supplemental resources such as rental tents and more. The “Creators Wanted” mobile unit will be stationed in the Overcash Center driveway, on Central Campus, from Nov. 15 – 20. Please note: vehicular access to Overcash circle on Central Campus will be closed during this timeframe. Student drop-offs and pick-ups won’t be possible, so please plan accordingly.

The event will be open to Central Piedmont employees and students, as well as the general public, by reservation to ensure the state’s COVID guidelines are followed. Reserve your spot today!
