Rapid Response Team Activated to Assist VT Industries, Inc. in New Albany
INDIANAPOLIS (July 29, 2016) -
The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and its community
partner, WorkOne Southern Indiana, have activated the state’s Rapid Response team to
assist employees affected by the announcement that VT Industries Incorporated
intends to close their facility in New Albany.
The
state’s Rapid Response team is activated when a significant layoff or plant
closure occurs and pairs knowledgeable WorkOne staff with displaced employees
to move them toward a plan for re-employment as soon as possible. Activities focus
on connecting displaced employees with local employment opportunities, in addition
to providing resume assistance, interview workshops and skills assessments.
The
time and location of the first Rapid Response session will be announced in the
near future. For more information, please contact WorkOne Southern Indiana at 812-941-6422
