React Collaboratively and Quickly for Rapid Response Events: Yes, WIOA Can!

The Next Level Now (NLN) Collaborative is the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration's hub for delivering technical assistance (TA) to the public workforce system. NLN will host a webinar on March 9, 2023 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET, which will provide steps and strategies in building a strong network of partners and resources before the occurrence of a Rapid Response event, such as a natural disaster or mass layoff. The webinar will also demonstrate strategies from the field for supporting businesses and dislocated workers during these types of events. It will be followed up with a roundtable discussion with additional presenters and related topics for the Rapid Response program, through which dislocated workers are transitioned to new employment as quickly as possible.
