| Rapid Response Section - Training Manuals |
 |
| To ensure that local WIA Rapid Response staff have access to appropriate rapid response activities and procedures, we have developed a training manual. The manual is divided into five parts. A brief overview of each part is described below. |
| |
- The Rapid Response Process describes the purpose for providing rapid response services and the basic activities needed to be provided to workers and employers during a mass layoff or plant closure. It describes the rapid response process and provides staff with the information necessary to initiate and provide basic rapid response services.
- The Rapid Response Process-Appendix and Sample Forms to the manual provides staff with sample forms that they can modify to address local dislocations.
- The Technical Assistance Guide for Establishing Adjustment Committees describes the steps and activities needed to form a local committee. The committee will be responsible for devising and implementing a strategy for assessing the employment and training needs of workers who are being dislocated from a specific company and for obtaining the services to meet those needs.
- Technical Assistance Guide for Establishing Adjustment Committees - Appendix and Sample Forms to the Committee Guide provides staff with sample forms that they can modify to address local dislocations.
- The U.S. Department of Labor established a workgroup to develop a training guide for staff who perform Rapid Response activities. The workgroup developed a training curriculum using a process known as DACUM (Design A CurriculuM). The Using Design a Curriculum section provides a detailed list of the knowledge and skills needed by a Rapid Response coordinator.
