Rapid Response Team Activated to Assist Paoli LLC Employees in Orleans
INDIANAPOLIS (October 12, 2016)
- The Indiana Department of
Workforce Development (DWD) and its community partner WorkOne South Central Indiana have activated
the state’s Rapid Response team to assist employees affected by Paoli LLC's plans
to close its facility in Orleans beginning in January 2017.
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 Southeast
Indiana at 812-331-6008.
