2025 FLATE Most Innovative Manufacturing Student Event Award Survey

FLATE's Manufacturing Student Event Award recognizes outstanding and innovative ways to promote manufacturing career awareness and technology education through student outreach events. In-person or virtual events include student tours of manufacturing facilities or other event that engages students in innovative ways directly with manufacturers.

Awardees will have held an event in 2024 which demonstrated impact on student perception and knowledge about manufacturing careers at the local, state, and/or national level. The award represents FLATE’s commitment to recognize organizations or companies who have made significant contributions to manufacturing or engineering technology outreach or educational programs in our public or private educational institutions.

FLATE award winners are selected from submitted nominations from around the state, which are judged by an awards committee made up of industry representative(s), FAITE board member(s), past awardee(s), and member(s) of the FloridaMakes Workforce Leadership Committee.
