Rapid Response through WorkSource Oregon is a free, publicly-funded service that works to connect employers to programs to minimize or prevent potential layoffs and to connect recently or soon-to-be laid off workers to the various public services available to them to help navigate job loss.
This includes unemployment insurance benefits, health care coverage, training and education resources, career counseling services, and more. Rapid Response services were created as a part of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and as this service is funded at the federal level, there is no cost for either employers or employees to utilize them.
WorkSource Oregon is hosting a series of Rapid Response Community Resource Informational Meetings to assist federal workers affected by layoffs. These events will connect impacted individuals with critical resources to support re-employment and financial stability.
Attendees will have access to information on Unemployment Benefits, SNAP benefits, Veteran Benefits, Healthcare Marketplace Information, Trade Act Benefits, Aptitude Assessments, Training Programs, On-The-Job Training, Job Search Skills, and Relocation Assistance. Representatives from various support services will be available to answer questions and provide guidance.
