Qualcomm is globally distributed, and employees often don't know when or if training is taking place near them. With physical locations in 35 countries, not to mention 36 separate buildings in San Diego, Qualcomm Incorporated has a highly distributed workforce. The Learning Center at Qualcomm offers nearly a thousand instructor-led classes each year throughout these locations, and employees (especially new employees) aren’t always aware of the class offerings in their building or country. B.J. Schone, a Qualcomm employee, set out on a mission to create a mobile app – a geolocation-based class finder – that would allow employees to see the classes offered near their location.
