          legislative findings:


          1)The first Friday in October is designated as National

                                                                    Page  2






          2)On October 2, 2015, many California manufacturers will open  
            their doors to the public to showcase their operations and  
            promote interest in the manufacturing sector as a quality  
            career; also California manufacturing training facilities and  
            community colleges will highlight their career technical  
            education classrooms, equipment, students, and instructors.


          3)California's manufacturing sector employs more than 1.2  
            million workers and is dynamic and diverse, and includes  
            industries such as aerospace, beverages, building materials,  
            cement, consumer goods, energy, and oil production, food  
            processing, glass, information technology, mining, plastics,  
            paper, pulp, and steel.  


          4)Working together with educators and workforce development  
            partners, California manufacturers will continue to address  
            the middle skills job shortage to build the next generation of  
            skilled industrial employees equipped to respond to the  
            demands of a global economy.


          5)California's clean and energy efficient manufacturing industry  
            maintains and supports the long-term overall health of the  
            state's economy and stands ready to help increase  
            opportunities for high-wage employment that will expand access  
            to the middle class for all Californians.
