Stark County Ohio Women WIN: Manufacturing Pathways Pilot
Women WIN focuses a balanced approach, scaling supply side (Job Seekers) preparation with increasing focus on demand side (Employers) to create pathways for women.
Manufacturers report workforce needs and high turnover. Stark County has a ready pool of female workers to fill this need. Women WIN will bridge this gap with enhanced focus on job seeker preparation (supply side), while increasing focus on employer hiring practices and workplace culture (demand side). This will create solid career paths for women in manufacturing. An employer catalyst will provide evidence-based hiring and workforce practices funded by reduced turnover costs to engage women.
