Rapid Re-employment Response Plan
A staggering by-product of COVID-19: thousands of jobs lost across Indiana. In Marion County alone, more than 120,000 people filed for unemployment between March-June. EmployIndy and Ascend Indiana have launched the Rapid Re-employment Response plan for displaced workers to connect with jobs or training opportunities. EmployIndy CEO Angela Carr Klitzsch, Ascend Indiana CEO Jason Kloth and Indianapolis Deputy Mayor of Economic Development Angela Smith-Jones explain how the program works.
