Training Observatory

The INFPC's Training Observatory carries out studies, analyses trends, and brings its expertise to the field of lifelong learning.

The purpose of the studies and surveys carried out is to support decision-makers in both the public and private sectors in guiding their training and employment policies.

In carrying out its mission, the Training Observatory is in contact with the institutional players operating in the fields of education, guidance and lifelong learning.

Training provision

The Training Observatory carries out a recurrent survey on available continuing training, to gain a better knowledge of the market for training in the Grand Duchy. This is broken down among various categories of training providers, including private bodies, institutional/sector-based bodies, and not-for-profit associations.

On average, private training providers have eight to nine years' experience in the field of training. They are mainly very small entities: 65% have fewer than five employees. More information.

Transition from school to working life

Enabling young people to get a good job quickly and lastingly is a real task for society, and this is why the Training Observatory is carrying out a study on the transition from school to working life (Transition École-Vie Active - TEVA), exploring the first three years of pupils' careers after leaving school.

An on-line barometer, at www.lifelong-learning.lu/teva, makes it possible to measure, compare and monitor the progress made in entry into working life and the quality of the jobs occupied by newly qualified professionals after their initial vocational training.
