Rapid Response Team Activated to Assist St. Joseph's College Employees in Rensselaer
INDIANAPOLIS (February 15, 2017)
- 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 Saint Joseph’s College decision to suspend certain activities on the Rensselaer campus.
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.
