Examples:
When a package delivery service was in need of a large number of employees for their night shift at a facility in Illinois, they contacted WorkOne Gary. The problem was finding workers who had reliable transportation at night. Working with the City of Gary, the Police Dept. and a bus service, WorkOne was able to interview and screen applicants, coordinate transportation to and from the work location and provide security in the parking lot for the new employees while they waited for the bus.
When a large, discount retailer opened two new stores in Northwest Indiana, they had no place to interview a large number of applicants while the stores were still being built. WorkOne offices recruited, accepted and screened applications, then arranged for the company's HR staff to use our facilities even on weekends to interview applicants.
A major insurance company relocated, leaving there medical insurance billing staff without jobs. The major barrier to reimployment that most of their former employees faced was that the computer programs they had used were not used by any other company. We provided them with training in Microsoft Windows and Office, making them marketable once again. A similar problem was faced by computer programmers from a steel manufacturer. With a specially developed class, their computer language was updated and they were able to find jobs in their field.
Currently we are providing assistance to steel workers dislocated by plant closures at a temporary location at the Hammond Civic Center. Individuals receive specialized assessment through WorkKeys, Counselling, Workshops and Job Search Assistance. We even provide sessions on subjects such as money management for the workers and their spouses.
