OLYMPIA – The Employment Security Department, along with state and local partners, will host a layoff assistance webinar for state of Washington employees and contractors. The webinar is scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 25.

Registration is free and is open until the event starts. There is no limit to the number of participants who can register. Register for the June 25 webinar. 

The webinars, part of the state’s rapid response efforts for large layoffs, are intended to help state workers who were laid off, facing a furlough or expecting a workforce reduction. The information will help affected workers navigate available unemployment benefits and reemployment resources.

Another June webinar for state workers drew more than 200 attendees. Due to the potentially large number of attendees, staff will not be able to address questions about specific situations during the webinar.

Webinar topics include:
•    Unemployment benefits, how to file and get help.
•    What to do about health care benefits.
•    Expanding your job skills through training and educational programs.
•    Career guidance, job search assistance, and other free resources.

The webinars are hosted by partners including Employment Security, WorkSource, Local Workforce Development Boards, Washington Health Plan Finder, Washington State Community & Technical Colleges and the Washington State Labor Council.

This webinar receives support and funding from a U.S. Department of Labor grant. Read more on the USDOL grants page.
