Rapid Response Program

The Employment Security Division's Rapid Response team offers workers and employers affected by layoffs or plant closures quick intervention to help make the transition easier for both parties.

Upon receiving advanced warning of a layoff or plant closure, the Rapid Response team arranges to visit the work site to explain all pertinent information to employees (often called dislocated workers) who face the prospect of unemployment. During the team's visit, information about job placement, job training or retraining, counseling, Unemployment Insurance, on-the-job training, job fairs, and other services available through the Employment Security Division and local community organizations are discussed at length. Employers can request the intervention team, or in some cases the team contacts the employer for permission to offer Rapid Response services.

The Rapid Response program is instrumental in providing information about all available Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) services for displaced workers in Nevada. Whenever the Rapid Response team learns of a significant layoff (10 or more workers being displaced), we offer on-site informational presentations. Should on site presentations be impractical, then information is mailed to affected workers. In either case, the displaced workers are encouraged to use DETR services. During presentations we discuss Employment Services, America's Job Exchange, Unemployment Insurance, training opportunities through the federal dislocated worker program, Vocational Rehabilitation services, the Career Enhancement Program (CEP), Consumer Credit Counseling, AFL - CIO apprentice and trainee opportunities, Nevada's Career Information System, and Labor Market Information.

Our Rapid Response teams also explains the advantage of registering with the Employment Service to receive referrals over America's Job Exchange. Rapid Response is a practical tool to increase the likelihood of applicants returning to work as soon as possible.
