Layoff Assistance
Rapid Response is an early intervention service that assists workers and employers affected by layoffs, plant closures, or natural disasters. It provides access to the Commonwealth's PA CareerLink® system of user-friendly resources and information to help transition workers into re-employment.
The sooner employers, their workers, and the community come together to manage the change, the better the outcome for everyone:
The community maintains its tax base;
Businesses are better able to manage their human resource needs, Unemployment Insurance costs, and Worker Compensation costs during the transition; and
The impact on the family's quality of life is minimized
The Rapid Response program was developed to help dislocated workers who are part of a large layoff. Its primary objective is to provide workers with the resources and services they need to allow them to find new jobs or get the training and education needed for new careers so that they can get back to work quickly.

Through our Business Services team, we offer access to available federal and private monies for employers to take on and train employees.
