What is Rapid Response It is NOT event-driven! It is a pro-active approach to planning for and managing economic transitions. Rapid Response requires: Ongoing efforts to build relationships with employers and other community stakeholders Knowledge of labor market trends and economic forecasts Strategic planning, data gathering and analysis designed to anticipate, prepare for, and manage economic transition Understanding workforce assets and needs Convening, facilitating, and brokering connections, networks, and partners Planning for and responding to layoffs, minimizing their impacts wherever possible
