Finding a way into the skilled trades. A portal for choosing a career.
The Hamburg Chamber of Crafts' training portal helps young people choose a career. Through blog posts, topic pages and campaigns, it provides information on routes into the skilled trades. We have provided technical support for the website since September 2022 and continue to develop it.
Publish new topics independently.
The training portal is being expanded with new topics, such as climate jobs. For this, the editorial team needs flexible content building blocks that it can use to put together new pages itself.
At the same time, the technical basis and the extensions in use need ongoing maintenance. Our support therefore also includes TYPO3 upgrades and the technical setup of cookie consent.
Developed step by step since 2022.
Since taking over the project, we have adapted existing features, added new content building blocks and carried out several TYPO3 upgrades.
Takeover and first adjustments
From October 2022, we adapted the menu, header, footer and contact form, among other things.
Upgrade to TYPO3 11.5
The move to TYPO3 11.5 took place in March 2023. We then revised the header, the slider and the image crops, among other things.
Campaign tracking with cookie consent
In April 2024, we integrated an external marketing partner's tracking codes into the existing cookie consent so that they only load once consent has been given. No new pages were created in the process; the campaign ads are managed by the marketing partner.
Upgrade to TYPO3 12.4
In early 2025, we upgraded the portal to TYPO3 12.4. At the same time, we replaced the previous TYPO3 solution for cookie consent with a Consent Manager that we manage in our agency account.
New content building blocks and TYPO3 13.4
From November 2025, we developed content building blocks for the climate jobs page and an expandable FAQ section. The upgrade to TYPO3 13.4 followed in June 2026.
Career choice, climate jobs and blog.
Content building blocks for new topics.
For the climate jobs page, we developed reusable content building blocks. The editorial team can combine them for other topics too and build new pages without the existing elements having to be developed again.
Upgrading TYPO3 step by step.
Over the course of our support, we have upgraded the portal successively to TYPO3 11.5, 12.4 and 13.4. Each upgrade was prepared in advance and the existing features were checked.
The project in numbers.
