In this episode of Working Together, host Ashley Espinoza sits down with Justin Yuen, Founder and CEO of Grouptrail, to discuss how technology is helping connect students with workforce opportunities across Oregon. From its beginnings with Portland Public Schools in 2017 to its current state-wide impact, Grouptrail has evolved into a comprehensive platform that helps track work-based learning experiences, matches students with career opportunities, and bridges the gap between education and employment. Justin shares insights about the importance of accessible technology solutions, particularly for rural communities, and discusses innovative approaches like text-messaging engagement and employer e-learning programs.
