CSC's Workforce & Education department recently coordinated with workforce partner agencies Linn Benton Community College, the City of Harrisburg, and three local employers to provide information sessions on February 25 to the workers affected by the February closure of Allied Specialty Vehicles/Monaco RV.
According to the Albany Democrat-Herald, the Linn County plant closed on Monday, February 10. The company would not disclose details or how many jobs were lost with the closure. Monaco was purchased by Allied Specialty Vehicles last May. The parent company plans to discontinue production of its towable vehicles. It will instead focus on producing motorized RVs in Decatur, Ind.
The dislocated workers were able to learn and ask
questions about opportunities for retraining, job search, advice, and job
openings at another local employer site in Harrisburg, Isovolta, Inc.
