What HHW Ohio Does and How We Help
HHW Ohio is moving from a program-based organization to a people and partnership-centered organization using the “Find Out, Get In, Move Up, Give Back” model to mobilize role models and mentors, industry leaders and community champions to help us meet our mission.
This fall we are launched our first-ever collaboration with Oberlin Community Services on our WISE Pathways, laying the groundwork for our new programming approach. Another priority is reinstating our popular and highly-effective Role Model Speaker’s Bureau.
WISE Pathways
WISE Pathways is a career exploration course designed for women to explore non-traditional, in-demand jobs in the construction and energy industries. You will have the opportunity to learn about career paths in both industries, strategies in conflict management, team building and workplace expectations; create a resume; practice online applications and interviewing; and be connected with recruiters from participating companies.
Leadership Development
Hard Hatted Women is looking for women who have experience as bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, equipment operators, HVAC technicians, engineers, plant operators, utility workers, mechanics, metal workers, painters, pipefitters, plumbers, production workers and other trades that remain nontraditional for women. Volunteer opportunities exist in Ohio to serve as role model speakers and encourage other women to work in trade and technical careers.
Hands-On Learning
Combining hands-on instruction in the skilled trades with a rich array of expressive arts activities, HHW allows girls to develop their own strength, power and confidence in an atmosphere that is fun, encouraging and positive.
Rosie’s Girls ® Summer Camp includes a unique combination of activities that are designed to expose girls to a variety of trades and technical fields.
