This aid is available to all companies that employ an apprentice on the basis of an apprenticeship contract for adults.

Terms & Conditions

The company must be established in Luxembourg and be authorised to train apprentices.

The trade or profession in which the apprenticeship is done must be included in the Grand-ducal regulation that determines all the professions and trades recognised for vocational training (apprenticeships).

Amounts
