Summer Camps

The PMMI Foundation is pleased to support 25 summer manufacturing camps in 2025 with a $50,000 grant to SparkForce™, the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Int’l. (FMA). In an effort to narrow the growing skills gap, the PMMI Foundation and SparkForce™ have partnered to develop summer camps that educate and inspire the future manufacturing workforce to explore career opportunities in packaging and processing.
