This could be the final day of work for some employees at Monaco Coach as today is the deadline for those massive cut-backs - and those displaced workers aren't alone.
Since January thousands of Elkhart County RV workers have been laid-off from companies like Monaco, Keystone, Flexsteel Industries, Newmar, and Dutchmen Consolidated Plants.
But now the Economic Development Corporation of Elkhart County is pitching in with some valuable information on their website. They recently added a new "workforce assistance" section with links to a wide variety of resources for employment, education, training, and financial assistance in the county. www.elkhartcountybiz.com
There is information available on anything from résumé building to educational grants.
There is more help on the way from the state. Recently Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels announced the state will get $10.4 million dollars to help displaced RV workers through training programs to help them find new jobs.
