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

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

assessments.
