The Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) is a regional public education agency that is a crucial part of Pennsylvania's public education system. AIU3 provides specialized services to Allegheny County's suburban school districts as well as non-public, charter, and vocational-technical schools.  AIU engaged fivestar* to completely redesign and develop their legacy PA-Educator.edu site which puts tools and resources in the hands of stakeholders to better communicate jobs, job requirements, and available resources in the community. PA-Educator also helps employers connect with the right applicants through the AIU up-front verification process of the applicant’s Standard Application for Teaching in PA Public Schools. The requirements for the site’s user experience and design have evolved over the years, with a migration to mobile browsers as the dominant form of interacting with the web by job seekers and the evolution of SEO and accessibility practices.

fivestar* developed a new PA-Educator site using modern, supported frameworks that provide a new level of site longevity. The core architecture prioritizes the ability to continue to grow PA-Educator through new features, functionality, introduction and integration of new technologies, and content. Underlying the interface and user experience design is a robust cloud-based architecture, leveraging Microsoft’s powerful, dynamic, and scalable Azure environment.
