NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD), along with local workforce partners Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency and the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency, will send a Rapid Response Team to Fentress County Friday to assist workers affected by the closure of the Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

The Rapid Response event will take place Friday, June 21, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Fentress County Courthouse.

Rapid Response Team members from the Upper Cumberland American Job Center will work with dislocated workers to update their resumes, discuss available free job training and help workers start the job search process.
