Rapid Response Team Activated to Assist Stanrail Employees in Gary
INDIANAPOLIS (August 29, 2016)
- The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and its community
partner WorkOne Northwest Indiana have
activated the state’s Rapid Response team to assist employees affected by the
announcement that Stanrail intends to close its facility in Gary.
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 as well as 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 Northwest Indiana at 219-462-2940, Ext. 41.
