LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation is providing support for former Spirit Airlines employees affected by the carrier’s recent operational changes.
DETR’s Rapid Response team is working with Spirit Airlines representatives to provide information on unemployment insurance, health coverage options, and reemployment services. The agency says a Rapid Response packet outlining the services available can be found on their website.
Through EmployNV, impacted employees can access free services, including career counseling, job search assistance, résumé and interview preparation, skills assessments, retraining opportunities and training grants for high-demand fields. Workers also can connect to job fairs, recruitment events, community resources, and other supportive services.
State officials are encouraging affected Spirit workers to file for unemployment insurance benefits online at NUI.nv.gov.
