Education, vocational training and employment

Education, training, and employment play a crucial role in reducing poverty, promoting equal opportunities, and empowering individuals. Quality education provides essential skills, drives innovation, and fuels economic growth. Vocational training equips young people and adults with the competencies needed to enter the job market, while employment is the key driver of long-term social and economic inclusion.

These efforts contribute directly to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities).

LuxDev actively supports initiatives across the entire education-training-employment continuum, ensuring individuals gain the knowledge and skills needed for a sustainable livelihood.
 

LuxDev’s initiatives aim to ensure universal access to quality education, combat gender disparities in schooling, promote girls' education, and raise awareness within communities.

Our primary beneficiaries include school-age children, particularly girls and children from low-income families.

We support school infrastructure projects that create safe and engaging learning environments. We also train teachers, equipping them with modern tools and innovative teaching methods to improve education quality and strengthen education systems.

Beyond basic education, LuxDev supports education system reform and governance by helping policymakers plan strategically and improve educational management practices.

Additionally, we encourage higher education and research through dedicated partnerships.

By providing individuals with market-relevant skills, LuxDev helps reduce unemployment, increase autonomy, and boost productivity and innovation. 

Our training initiatives primarily benefit young people and adults, with a particular focus on women and marginalised groups.

We support the creation and equipping of vocational training centres, the design of curricula tailored to local economic needs, and the training of instructors to ensure high-quality teaching.

We also strengthen sector governance by enhancing the institutional and organisational capacities of public agencies. Additionally, we collaborate with local businesses to expand access to apprenticeships and internships, enabling trainees to gain practical experience while fostering strong ties between training centres and the private sector.

Through this approach, LuxDev contributes to building resilient vocational training systems and creating long-term economic opportunities.

By fostering job creation, LuxDev helps individuals achieve financial independence and improve their quality of life, while contributing to the social and economic stability of its partner countries.

Our employment initiatives target young people, working-age adults, women, and vulnerable groups who often face barriers to job opportunities. We also support graduates, informal workers, entrepreneurs, and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

Using an integrated, locally adapted approach, we support job creation through initiatives such as MSME development, entrepreneurship promotion, and workforce upskilling. 

We work closely with public institutions and the private sector to create enabling environments for sustainable employment. Our work also includes improving working conditions and fostering innovation. By strengthening these strategic partnerships, LuxDev ensures long-term positive impacts for individuals and communities.
