HHW Ohio accelerates women’s advancement as workplace and community leaders.

A Legacy of Supporting Women

Since 1979 HHW Ohio has engaged industry and community leaders to match women who need lifelong careers with employers who need a qualified, skilled workforce. By harnessing the collective power of volunteers, business, community-based, and educational partners, HHW Ohio provides women and girls a full range of career options, networks of support, and the confidence and skills
to succeed.

Industry Partnerships

HHW Ohio has cultivated great relationships with employers, mentors and leaders that support our mission. We expand these partnerships everyday through working within the community.

Community Based Program Collaborations

Our programs are community based and enabled by local leadership, employers and participants. We have many successes collaborating within our community and work to do more in the future.

Outreach and Advocacy
