What it reported doing in 2025

Wise pathways is hhw Ohio's registered pre-apprenticeship program. Wise pathway creates a supportive pathway for women to enter into high-demand non-traditional occupations and industries by connecting them with apprenticeships or other low-to-no cost education and training. In 2024, 110 women participated in wise pathways, with 79 women successfully completing the program. Of these, 24 earned an industry-recognized credential, 2 earned college credit, and 25 transitioned into an aligned apprenticeship, advanced training program, or direct employment. Hhw Ohio facilitated a six-month manufacturing learning community in partnership with the Ohio manufacturers association. The learning community used continuous improvement principles to help 16 manufacturers identify and implement practices to help recruit, retain, and advance women. Key outcomes included a company partnering with a local nonprofit to support childcare options for workers and partnerships with industry sector partnerships to support recruitment efforts. Hhw Ohio is a partner on the city of cleveland's built environment collaborative. As part of this effort, hhw Ohio has partnered with 14 organizations to raise awareness of, train people for, and connect clevelanders to construction, utilities, and infrastructure careers. As part of this effort, hhw Ohio connected with over 300 women as part of this effort through community information sessions and events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
