Qualified staff is a key factor for the success and performance of a company. Continuing professional development is therefore an essential element of any company's development strategy.

Introduction

The Chamber of Commerce accompanies and supports companies in their commitment to continuously improving the knowledge and skills of their employees. To this end, it acts, on the one hand, in favour of a legislative and regulatory framework conducive to the development of an efficient and transparent training and education system and, on the other hand, it initiates, develops and manages various continuing vocational training projects, in close consultation with companies and national and international training players.

I want to train an apprentice

The choice to train an apprentice allows a company or a company director to pass on their passion, knowledge and know-how to young people within the framework of a dual training course under an apprenticeship contract. It is therefore a way of training future employees in the image of their company while enjoying the countless advantages of hiring under an apprenticeship contract.

A special feature of the Greater Region is the possibility of cross-border apprenticeships. The apprentice completes the practical part in a company in Luxembourg and the academic part in a school in a neighbouring country. The foreign diploma is awarded. The company interested in a cross-border apprenticeship must comply with certain procedures and find out which professions are allowed under a cross-border contract.

What assistance is available to training companies and tutors?

Companies that employ apprentices and thus contribute to their training receive aid for promoting apprenticeship in the form of :

  • reimbursement of 27% or 40% (depending on the diploma prepared) of the allowance paid to the apprentice.
  • reimbursement of the employer's share of the social security charges relating to the apprenticeship allowance paid.

I want to train my employees

The House of Training's main mission is to offer a range of continuing professional training to meet the needs of the Luxembourg economy.

Professionals train other professionals

The offer of the House of Training aims, on the one hand, to support company managers in their process of creating, taking over and managing a company by offering them training courses based on their specific needs. On the other hand, it is also aimed at the employees of these companies, who wish to develop their knowledge and skills and evolve in their professional lives.

In its approach, the House of Training favours a pragmatic approach whereby "professionals train other professionals". The majority of its trainers are therefore entrepreneurs, technical experts or representatives of our partners (professional associations, federations, academic institutes, etc.), in order to ensure that the training courses offered reflect the needs of the field as closely as possible.

The House of Training was approved as a continuing professional education organisation by ministerial order on 16th December 2015. By using its services, companies can, under certain conditions, benefit from financial aid from the Government. A full list of available grants can be found at www.lifelonglearning.lu.

 

Quelles aides à la formation professionnelle continue existe-t-il ?

L’Etat luxembourgeois soutient l’effort de formation des entreprises en contribuant au financement de leur plan de formation. Selon le montant de l’investissement annuel en formation professionnelle continue (FPC) et le type de formation dispensée, une entreprise peut prétendre à un cofinancement public de ses actions de formation. La demande de cofinancement est à envoyer à l’Institut National pour le développement de la Formation Professionnelle Continue (INFPC). Cette aide ne concerne pas les formations continues à caractère obligatoire prévues par le législateur pour l'exercice de professions réglementées.
