20190327T160021 Recognizing Veteran-Ready Employers through the 2019 HIRE Vets Medallion ProgramThe mission of your Business Service Team is building and fostering relationships with employers in your local area.

20200508T152202 Rapid Response Regulations Series #7: Required Activities (Part 3)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. |
|
20200508T153802 Rapid Response Regulations Series #8: Allowable ActivitiesIn 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. |
|
20200508T153154 Rapid Response Regulations Series #9: Additional AssistanceOur last entry covered section 682.340 and focused on other allowable Rapid Response activities and community transition teams.

20200508T153856 Rapid Response Regulations Series #5: Responsibility for Carrying Out Rapid ResponseNow 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? |
|
20200508T152646 Rapid Response Regulations Series #7: Required Activities (Part 1)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. |
20170720T123510 Rapid Response Regulations Series #6: Layoff Aversion Strategies & ActivitiesNow 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. |
|
20170209T132527 Regulations Series #4: Mass Layoff DefinitionNow 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ |
|
20200508T151722 Rapid Response Regulations Series #7: Required Activities (Part 2)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. |

20170718T160010 Business Engagement Series #1: What is Business Engagement?For the first blog in this series on business engagement, let’s start by attempting to develop a common definition for business engagement.
