Introduction
============

The **Jobcenter** extension provides a flexible way to manage and display
contact persons for various social services based on visitor filters such as
age, location (PID), disability, or self-reliance. It is primarily designed
for German Jobcenter use cases and integrates seamlessly with TYPO3's Extbase &
Fluid framework.

This extension is compatible with **TYPO3 v12 LTS** and follows best practices
using dependency injection, clean controller logic, and SOLID principles.

  - Age group (e.g., 15–24 or 25–49)
