Reemployment Support from CDLE
CDLE has several workforce programs to support Coloradans through a period of joblessness:
Colorado Rapid Response offers materials and resources to guide unemployed workers during the initial transition. Visit the Rapid Response page to explore resources including guidance on questions to ask your former employer, steps to take after losing your job but before applying for unemployment, healthcare options including COBRA and more.
All workers experiencing a period of joblessness are encouraged to take advantage of the resources and programs available through the Statewide Workforce System to support them on their career journeys. Workforce centers across the state are available to support job seekers via personal job search support and coaching, resume development, interview preparation, and a variety of activities including job fairs, hiring events, workshops and training opportunities.
