LAYOFF TRANSITIONING

The Atlanta Workforce Development Agency can help you with employees who are being laid off, or with your reduction in workforce (RIF) needs. The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program is a federal program established under the Trade Act of 1974 and provides aid to workers who lose their jobs or whose hours of work and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. AWDA provides comprehensive retraining and reemployment services to workers who have been laid off in Atlanta.

TAA Services include:

  • Rapid Response Services
      -Provides early intervention services designed to respond to
       a layoff of more than 50 employees before layoff actually occurs.
  • Reemployment Services
      -Employment generating activities including job search
       assistance, resume preparation, and job readiness workshops.
  • Training (on-the-job or classroom)
  • Transportation Allowance
