INDIANAPOLIS (September 7, 2016)
- The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and its community
partner, WorkOne Northern Indiana, have activated the state’s Rapid Response team to
assist employees affected by ITT Tech closing its facility in South Bend.
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 Northern Indiana at 574-237-9675, Ext. 2541.
