TRAIL LAUNCHES JOBSCOUT PLATFORM
IN SPANISH AT TECHCRUNCH DISRUPT
New Platform Built to Meet the Needs of the Latino Market Now Available
San Francisco, CA –To help Spanish-speaking jobseekers, TRAIL is launching
JobScout in Spanish today. This afternoon, Chief Executive Officer, Christina Gagnier, will be
officially announcing the launch of the JobScout platform in Spanish on the TechCrunch
Disrupt stage in San Francisco.
JobScout, the web and mobile tool designed to teach people how to use the Internet
effectively to find work, is launching its platform in Spanish. With job resources having
moved online, looking for a job has become difficult for many people. With few job
resources available in Spanish, this process has become particularly difficult for Spanish
speaking jobseekers. JobScout’s is the first comprehensive online tool designed to teach
Spanish-speaking job seekers digital literacy skills and help them find work. JobScout’s
Spanish version can be accessed 24/7 online at www.myjobscout.co/es and assistance
getting started can be found at public library branches across California.
JobScout’s emphasizes the importance of launching the job skills platform in Spanish,
“We’re passionate about finding users, which for us, translates to giving people meaningful
tools to find work,” said Paul Jackson, JobScout’s Spanish Language Director. “Our Spanish-
language platform offers something for everyone. Whether our users are new to the Internet
or just need to make a resume and find job listings, JobScout is an excellent resource for
jobseekers.”
JobScout is pretty simple: Users take lessons, earn badges for those lessons and learn
how to use simple tools to find work online. If you just want to learn or brush up on your
Internet skills or need a hand finding a job, JobScout has a collection of nearly 40 lessons
and a collection of tools that will help you on your way.
JobScout helps to level the playing field for people by taking the guesswork out of
finding employment. It is a low-cost, self-guided education tool that is perfect for users who
want to make the job search process more effective and useful for institutions who want to
provide job search and education resources.
