UIA Community Connect
The UIA Community Connect program works to expand efforts in underserved communities by seeking new partnerships with community groups to support them in assisting their customers/members with unemployment-related issues. The program provides community liaisons who will work closely with community, faith based or cultural organizations to identify barriers and provide solutions for expanding access to unemployment assistance. | ![]() |
