WIN Career Exploration Program

Central to Notre Dame Preparatory School’s mission is academic excellence. Yet not all learning occurs in school. The Women in... or WIN Experience places students in career settings so they may explore interests and apply classroom learning to real work and real-world experiences. Founded in 2006 with a focus on science and medicine, WIN has expanded into a multitude of fields. To date, more than 1,800 students have had a WIN experience, with more expected each year as new career tracks are added.

All Upper Level students are eligible to participate in WIN. A host of mentors, including NDP parents, alumnae, and friends, sponsor opportunities ranging from half-day to two-week shadow experiences to full-time, unpaid internships. WIN training provides life skills in addition to content enrichment. In advance of their placement, students take a workplace etiquette seminar learning about real-world expectations about proper work attire, conduct, and manners.
