INDIANAPOLIS (July 26, 2016) – The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and its community partners, WorkOne Eastern Indiana and WorkOne Indy, have activated the state’s Rapid Response team to assist employees affected by the announcement that Indianapolis Logistics and Indianapolis Haulage intend to close their facilities in Indianapolis and Yorktown.

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 Eastern Indiana at 765-289-1861 ext. 2108 or WorkOne Indy 317-684-2313.
