Partnerships for Outreach
About
One of the cornerstones of a successful workforce program lies in its ability to collaborate with partner programs and other organizations that share our mission to attract, engage, and support workers in a timely fashion with the skills and resources needed to meet employer needs.
Below are some of the partners that can provide critical linkages in serving that mission.
- a. Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) – This recently expanded ETA funded program is designed to provide a link for UI claimants to reemployment, including serving as a liaison for workforce programs in identifying workers’ reemployment needs. Several TAA state programs partner closely with RESEA through worker orientations and other opportunities for engaging laid off workers with an eye to minimizing the period of unemployment.
b. Rapid Response – Intended to be the original vanguard for all ETA workforce programs, Rapid Response is tasked with both responding to layoffs and conducting ongoing layoff aversion activities to prevent or minimize layoffs.
c. Unions – Unions are very useful stakeholders in networking to support worker engagement, as they have long established ties with both employers and workers. The state of Washington is a leader in Trade Program/Union partnership through the state’s Labor Council.
