Envision Greater Fond du Lac Foundation

Fond Du Lac works: Fond Du Lac works is the first coordinated community effort to address the skilled worker shortage. Professional research of the Fond Du Lac area workforce consistently demonstrates a shift in demographics which places the entire community in an immediate and critical situation; there will simply not be enough competitively skilled workers to fill available jobs in the future without aggressive solutions being developed and implemented now. To date, many volunteers have come together to work on development of initiatives which support three main focus areas of: workforce recruitment, retention of existing workforce and development of talent through education and training. It also promotes an increased level of partnership between business and education. It provides business with opportunities to develop a highly skilled workforce from within the area high school population.

Leadership Fond Du Lac program: to assist in the preparation of a strong, diverse group of leaders qualified to represent the Fond Du Lac community and willing to make responsible decisions affecting both the public and private sectors.

Ag ambassador program: the Fond Du Lac area agricultural ambassador program was developed out of a need to educate and inform adults and youth about the production and nutritional value of agricultural products produced in our community or state, as well as the impact agriculture has on our daily lives. The agriculture ambassador presents various educational programs in schools free of charge. Topics include: health and nutrition, consumer buying habits, food safety, economics, agricultural careers and agricultural production.
