Career Team and the Oregon Employment Department Launch Statewide Workforce Modernization Project
We're proud to officially announce the launch of the Oregon Employment Department Workforce Modernization Project, a bold, collaborative effort to reimagine how workforce services are delivered across the state.
Over four full days of intensive working sessions, more than 400 Oregon workforce development professionals sat side by side with Career Team to tackle the challenges we've seen play out in state after state across the country:
We confronted legacy systems that don't talk to each other, creating barriers for our teams and the customers they serve. We examined user experiences shaped by 20-year-old systems, rather than centered on the real people behind every interaction. We looked hard at business processes built around software constraints, instead of being designed to deliver meaningful outcomes. And we tackled the problem of data locked in silos, when it should be driving smarter, faster decisions.
These aren't problems unique to any one state, they're symptoms of a workforce technology landscape that hasn't kept pace with the people it's meant to serve.
Workforce software across the country is undergoing a revolutionary shift, and Career Team is proud to lead these efforts alongside forward-thinking partners like Oregon. Together, we're moving from systems that constrain to systems that empower, putting people, outcomes, and data-driven decision-making at the center of workforce development.
This is just the beginning. We're grateful to the Oregon Employment Department and the hundreds of dedicated professionals who showed up ready to do the hard, important work of building something better.
