Rapid Response

Employers and workers facing closures and layoffs can benefit from the Rapid Response program funded through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) statewide funding and operated by Virginia’s Community Colleges. The mission of the Rapid Response program is to deliver customized services to employers who are restructuring their organizations or closing facilities. Services are delivered in a time and place convenient to the impacted workers.
