Inspire Lancaster

For Inspire Lancaster, a Lancaster County workforce development initiative connecting education and industry, a more accessible digital platform was needed to support work-based learning. Employers, educators, students, and families needed a simpler way to share and discover internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, and mentoring opportunities. A redesigned, mobile-responsive platform was delivered, creating a clearer experience for users and strengthening Inspire Lancaster as a central hub for career-connected learning.

Pathways made simple

Work-based learning depends on connection, but those connections need to be easy to find, understand, and manage. Inspire Lancaster’s platform was shaped around the real needs of students, employers, educators, and families, simplifying how internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, and mentoring opportunities move through the community. The result is a more intuitive and accessible digital experience that helps Lancaster County connect education, industry, and opportunity.

Platform Strategy & Experience

Simplifying Connection Across the Community

QNTM redesigned and rebuilt the Inspire Lancaster platform to improve usability, accessibility, and overall engagement. The updated WordPress experience introduced a cleaner UI/UX that made it simple for employers to register, post opportunities, and manage listings, while giving students an intuitive way to build profiles, explore pathways, and connect with real-world experiences.

Design & Accessibility

Built for Everyone, On Every Device

The platform was developed with a mobile-responsive structure and full ADA/WCAG compliance to ensure accessibility across all users. A cohesive visual identity and streamlined navigation improved clarity and reduced friction, creating a more inclusive experience for students, educators, and employers alike.

Supporting Engagement

Tools That Power Opportunity

A dynamic events module enables administrators and community partners to share internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, and mentoring opportunities across the county. Enhanced functionality supports easier discovery and ongoing engagement between schools and industry partners.

Evolving the Platform

Smarter Tools for a Growing Network

In its 2025 release, QNTM expanded Inspire Lancaster with interactive dashboards for students and employers, improved communication tools, and enhanced reporting to better track engagement and success. These updates strengthened the platform’s ability to support meaningful connections at scale.

A partnership that drives impact

“Thank you for your leadership in this, your creative problem-solving, and your big-picture thinking. Truly, so many of our community organizations wouldn’t be what they are without partnerships with QNTM. I think about Steinman alone, you’ve had such a tremendous impact in helping us define ourselves and clearly communicate what we do. That clarity only strengthens community engagement.”
Lauren Miller – Executive Director of the Lancaster County STEM Alliance
