KGP Logistics, with two facilities in Warsaw, filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Feb. 15 with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, notifying the agency the company will lay off 300 workers on April 17, or within two weeks of that date.
Company leaders have been working with WorkOne Northern Indiana and at least 15 area employers to organize an in-house job fair for affected employees that will take place on Monday, according to a news release from Kosciusko Economic Development Corp. Other local companies interested in participating in the job fair can obtain more information by calling 574-269-4999, ext. 5.
In addition, local residents are encouraged to attend the already scheduled Warsaw Winter Job Fair that will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday at The Roost at Creighton’s Crazy Egg Café, 4217 W. Old 30, Warsaw, and will feature companies ready to accept résumé’s onsite.
“We understand that companies make decisions every day to respond to market conditions and appreciate how difficult workforce reductions are for all involved,” said Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer in the release. “Nonetheless, we commend the local leadership at KGPCo and our partners at WorkOne Northern Indiana for their work to support the employees and families who will be affected.”
Representatives of WorkOne Northern Indiana are working onsite at KGPCo to provide re-employment services such as resume preparation and mock interviews. Resources that are available anytime for local residents affected by job losses include Goodwill Industries’ Warsaw Career Center and WorkOne Northern Indiana, both at 751 Anchorage Point Drive, Warsaw.
KEDCo was formed in 1984 to promote economic and community development in Kosciusko County. KEDCo is the economic development corporation serving Kosciusko County and all the municipalities therein, the release states. For more information, visit: www.kosciuskoedc.com.
