The article discusses the method of using ontologies 
for developing a mobile application of the corporate e-learning 
system in the process of adaptation of companies’ new 
employees. The problems of shortening the period of adaptation 
of newly recruited employees force companies to look for 
effective methods of personnel management, their training and 
development. Well-known publications and the best 
developments in the field of mobile devices in corporate training 
systems, which allow to determine the vector of development of 
corporate training systems from e-learning to mobile learning, 
were considered. The widespread use of mobile devices makes 
the process of learning and adaptation of employees flexible, 
convenient, which leads to reduction of the time for employees to 
join the company's business processes. The problems of 
motivation and staff engagement in the process of early 
adaptation remain, but they are solved in the course of our other 
studies. The original method is use of ontologies when building 
individual learning paths in the process of adaptation of 
employees. The article examines the main approaches to the 
presentation and analysis of employees’ competencies based on 
ontologies when building modern corporate systems of 
adaptation and personnel training. An original approach to 
creating mobile applications is proposed, which reduces the time 
for adaptation and training of new employees.
