Luxembourg - Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition

The Luxembourg National Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition was launched in 2017 as a joint initiative of several national ministries, in collaboration with the European Commission, as part of the wider European Digital Skills and Jobs initiative. 

The Coalition brings together more than 70 members from across Luxembourg’s digital ecosystem, including public institutions, educational organisations, companies, training providers, NGOs, research actors and civil society organisations. Together, they help strengthen digital skills, digital inclusion and digital employability across Luxembourg and Europe. 

The coordination of the Coalition is currently ensured by the Ministry of Labour and INFPC. 

Since 2021, the social enterprise WIDE ANDCO has been responsible for managing and developing the national platform digitalskills.lu, which promotes digital skills initiatives, training opportunities, events and resources in Luxembourg. As one of the main partners of the initiative, WIDE ANDCO continues to actively support the visibility and promotion of digital skills initiatives through the platform and collaborative activities. 

Over the years, the Coalition and its members have organised and promoted numerous activities that have reached more than 1000 participants, including companies and organisations, young people, students, teachers and professionals. These activities contribute to fostering digital literacy, inclusion, innovation and lifelong learning in Luxembourg.
