National portal for continuing vocational training

Portail national de la formation professionnelle continue

The "National Portal for Continuing Vocational Training" was launched in 2008 in Luxembourg, by the National Institute for the Development of Continuing Vocational Training (INFPC), operating under the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth at the national level. This ongoing initiative aims to enhance continuous professional development and address skill gaps in the workforce. It targets all individuals seeking to improve their skills, companies investing in employee training, and training professionals. The portal is a meeting place for supply and demand in the field of training and as such lists 13,239 training courses offered by 323 member training bodies. It also acts as a one-stop shop for full information regarding lifelong training: training support, alternative routes for obtaining qualifications, events, legislation, news etc. Key measures include the centralization of training resources and financial co-funding opportunities to support professional growth. Employers can also benefit from co-financing schemes, and individuals are provided with financial incentives such as paid leave for training.
