REACT

The Reemployment and Emergency Assistance Coordination Team, is the state’s focal point in dealing with the dislocation of Florida’s workers.

REACT is a team of state and local community representatives who plan and coordinate assistance for Florida’s employers and workers affected by temporary and permanent business layoffs. The team provides resources such as funds, technical assistance and expertise, labor market information and job relocation information.

The REACT team coordinates efforts at state and local levels to assist workers who have or will be dislocated from their jobs due to a business or plant closure, a major employer downsizing, natural disasters (such as floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes) or other acts of nature that cause the dislocation of fifty (50) or more workers. Key strategies in Florida’s system are to:

• Provide occupational and skills training information to eligible incumbent workers who are at risk of losing their jobs;
• Facilitate immediate assistance for dislocated workers; and
• Monitor the health of Florida industry sectors.
