Rapid Response Services for Employers

Rapid Response helps companies facing potential layoffs or plant closures. It helps to prevent or limit job losses and provides on-site help if layoffs occur. Services are customized for each company's needs and delivered by state and local workforce development agencies in partnership with the AJCCSM.
