SPRING GROVE – Manufacturers facing a shortage of skilled workers want students – and their parents – to take another look at careers in the industry.

More than 150 manufacturing companies opened their doors last week to students and teachers as part of a coordinated national push to attract new workers and dispel misconceptions about manufacturing careers.

Scot Forge, which makes metal parts for everything from airplanes to submarines, has invited local students and teachers to see the company's Spring Grove facility as part of the effort.
