Join us for an insightful webinar that explores the transformative impact of the NEXT program in Summit County, Ohio. This workforce development initiative, powered by Unite Us technology, has not only helped working families achieve economic self-sufficiency but has also delivered millions of dollars in cost savings and hundreds of administrative hours saved. Learn how outdated manual processes slowed progress and created inefficiencies—until the program adopted secure data sharing, closed-loop referrals, and streamlined billing solutions to drive faster, more effective support.

Dive into the key results, including:

  • $3M in first-year savings;
  • $190K distributed to community organizations; and
  • 591 administrative hours gained.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how technology can drive significant improvements in government efficiency and constituent outcomes. Register for the webinar today and join the conversation on transforming community services.
