Editor's Notes
- All six of these steps are, in some form, Allowable under the Workforce Investment Act, especially if done in order to better prepare the workforce system for future dislocation events. This model is part of the WIRED framework. WIRED is not a grant, it is a model of how the workforce system should operate. Transition management is key to the ultimate success of a regional economy.
- Talk about the Paper Industry in Maine as an example or the Textile industries. Show example of Maine’s enhanced LMI that was done for BIW and explain how RR could do that for threatened industries prior to layoff.
- Polaroid workers transitioning to biotech as example.
- I want to ask for some audience input here. When you think layoff aversion, what do comes to mind? What does layoff aversion mean to you? A lot of people think that layoff aversion simply means preventing a layoff from happening, but in reality, there is so much more to it. There are two sides to layoff aversion. One is actually saving the company. This could be done by minimizing the number of employees that need to be laid off, work-share, company furloughs, employee-buyouts or finding a buyer, linking with economic development, or incumbent worker training programs based on the company. Then there’s the proactive side to layoff aversion, which is that you may not actually be able to save the company, but you can lessen the impact that a layoff event or closure has. This can be by lessening the number of people who file for unemployment insurance, company match, which is linking laid off employees with companies that need trained workers, linking On-the-job Training programs with growing companies, or broader incumbent worker programs. So layoff aversion is really a lot more expansive than simply stopping a layoff from happening.
- 18 states have workshare programs as of 2006 This is the ideal time to conduct the skill set analysis of workers in an attempt to map them against growth industries. Also time to contact the TAA for Firms program, MEPs and others. Should at this point also look at incumbent worker training to improve the competitiveness of the workers.
