Hoffmann & Partner Fortbildung und Beratung

What Hoffmann & Partner Fortbildung und Beratung does

Hoffmann & Partner Fortbildung und Beratung GmbH, founded in 1992 in Halle (Saale), Sachsen-Anhalt, is an owner-managed consulting institute (GmbH) focused on two service lines: Existenzgründung (business startup support) and Arbeitsmarktintegration (labor market integration). The company delivers DEKRA-certified coaching, workshops, qualification seminars, and individual advising — including aptitude assessments, business plan development, pre-founding qualification (160-hour group format), job-application coaching (Fit für den Job), family-oriented integration (Familie Aktiv), post-employment stabilization (Stabil im Job), and qualification coaching (Pro Quali). Multi-year EU co-funded projects extend the portfolio: Frau*Now! (01.03.2024–29.02.2028) for women and FINTA* founders and SIGUSA Impact*Now! (01.04.2025–31.12.2027) for social innovators and gemeinwohlorientierte organisations.

There is no proprietary technology platform, SaaS product, or AI/ML capability disclosed; delivery is in-person coaching and seminars at the Mansfelder Straße 15 headquarters in Halle (Saale) and at partner venues, with Instagram and event listings as marketing channels. Revenue is derived from publicly funded programs: the Agentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency) and the Jobcenter Halle (Saale) cover program costs via approved coaching hour budgets, with additional co-funding from the European Union for the two flagship projects. Participants access services free of charge. GTM is referral-led (government employment agencies) combined with event-based community activation (workshops, Gründer*innen-Speeddating, Frühstückstreffen). The firm is led by three Geschäftsführer:innen — Dr. habil. Kathrin Quade, Jana Matschonschek, and Marcel Sitz — alongside co-founder Prof. Dr. Lothar Lotze and a small multidisciplinary coach and project team.
