One of the more tricky terms we use in the workforce development world is “business engagement.” Business engagement is tricky in several ways: it is largely undefined, there are many different interpretations of what it is and what it entails, who should participate, how it can be funded, how to measure success, and much more.

For the first blog in this
series on business engagement, let’s start by attempting to develop a common definition
for business engagement. After that, we will talk a bit about why active business
engagement efforts are so critical for the workforce system and our partners, and
look at some of the critical elements of successful business engagement programs.

As times change, so do industry needs and both are now changing more rapidly than ever. Workforce development professionals have learned that we need to be able to meaningfully engage with stakeholders to provide a relevant response to workforce concerns.

The mission of your Business Service Team is building and fostering relationships with employers in your local area. Business representatives have several ways to engage employers, including assistance with recruitment, retention, and reskilling the existing workforce. Now, a new program adds another “R” to the mix: recognition.

In our last entry we covered 682.330(b)-(e). This post covers 682.330(f)-(k), the remaining paragraphs under 682.330; let’s take a deeper look at each of these.

In our previous entries we discussed the required elements of Rapid Response under WIOA 682.330. Section 682.340 identifies additional activities that may be undertaken as part of the Rapid Response program.

Our last entry covered section 682.340 and focused on other allowable Rapid Response activities and community transition teams. We now look at § 682.350 which defines “additional assistance” in the context of Rapid Response.

Now that we have addressed what Rapid
Response is and when it must be delivered, let us take a brief look at a
related question—who has the responsibility for carrying out these activities?

Now let’s take some time to talk about those activities that are required to be carried out with Rapid Response funds, per section 682.330. We developed this section of the regulation from three sources: activities that were previously only discussed in guidance and through technical assistance; elements that were required under WIA, and elements that were previously allowable, but which are now required.

Now that we have addressed the question of who has the responsibility
for carrying out Rapid Response activities, let’s jump into one of the areas of
the WIOA regulations that are much more comprehensive than under WIA: layoff
aversion.

Now that we’ve defined Rapid Response,
discussed its purpose, and described the circumstances under which Rapid
Response must be provided, let’s take a closer look at one of the big changes
to Rapid Response under the WIOA regulations from WIA: the definition of “mass
layoff” as it applies to the Rapid Response program.

In our last entry we covered 682.330(a), which describes the layoff aversion requirement. This post will cover 682.330(b)-(e); these 4 sub-paragraphs appear in the WIOA regulations largely unchanged from how they were in WIA; let’s take a deeper look at each of these.

Now that we’ve defined Rapid Response,
and discussed its purpose, let’s take a look at when, or under what
circumstances, Rapid Response MUST be delivered.
