Encourage female students to be strong, confident leaders in their community and in their careers.  Provide guidance on career-related topics.  

High school students have a world of opportunities available and yet choosing a career path is often extremely challenging. With the goal of providing career guidance and mentorship, a new partnership has been formed between Fond du Lac High School and Mercury’s Community Pillar of the Women’s Leadership Council.
A partnership between Mercury Marine’s Women’s Leadership Council (WLC) and Fond du Lac High School has been gaining momentum as a program designed to provide career guidance and leadership development to local female students in Grades 9-12.

WIL is a great opportunity to teach tomorrow's leaders today. This partnership provides the opportunity for high school girls to develop their leadership skills to be valuable assets to the community and local business and industry.

Major Components of the Program:
1. A job shadow event at Mercury Marine with a woman leader in the students interested field. This mentor agrees to be a resource for the student to answer questions as they progress through their academic and career field.
2. A half day event that is themed (we have done leadership, branding, etc.) which students learn from industry leaders
3. Question and answer panel for students with Woman in Leadership Positions from Mercury Marine
