          DIGEST:          This resolution declares October 2, 2015, as  
          California Manufacturing Day.
          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)The first Friday in October is designated as National  
            Manufacturing Day and was created as an opportunity to  
            recognize and celebrate the contributions of manufacturing in  
            the United States.


          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 on that day, many California manufacturing  
            training facilities and community colleges will highlight  
            their career technical education classrooms, equipment,  
            students, and instructors.


          3)Many of the nation's most innovative, productive, and energy

                                                                     Page  2



            efficient manufacturers have research labs, assembly plants,  
            and administration operations in California.


          4)California's manufacturing sector 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.


          5)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.


          This resolution declares Friday, October 2, 2015, as California  
          Manufacturing Day.
