WiHI Success Stories

I was recently promoted to Senior Project Manager because of the training I was able to take due to support from the OBIO® WiHI Career Advancement Grant.
— Bernadette Ilagan, Senior Project Manager, Ripple Therapeutics
The WiHI training and wage subsidy program has been incredibly impactful. Not only did the wage subsidy allow Vessl to focus our early-stage funding on product development, it also empowered me to focus full time on my business with sufficient salary to support my living expenses.
— Sydney Robinson, CEO, Vessl Prosthetics
