Greiz District Training Portal Optimized for Mobile Devices
Long-Term Cooperation with Public-Sector Clients Continued
As early as 2013, HQ GmbH developed the regional training portal “Dein Ausbildungsportal” on behalf of the Greiz District. The project was created in cooperation with the Greiz District Administration, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), the Employment Agency, and the Chamber of Crafts, and consolidates regional training and job opportunities on a central platform.
In 2019, the portal was technically optimized for use on smartphones and mobile devices as part of its continuous development. The aim was to provide people interested in vocational training with fast and convenient access to regional training opportunities – regardless of the device being used.
The technical implementation of the mobile optimization was once again carried out by HQ GmbH. This continued the long-standing cooperation with the Greiz District and the participating institutions.
Official Reporting by the District
The Greiz District reported on the mobile development in the official District Journal (Issue 12/2019). It states that the joint training portal of the Greiz District, Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), Chamber of Crafts, and Employment Agency was technically enhanced with the support of HQ GmbH so that the platform could also be used quickly and clearly on smartphones.
