Luxembourg’s digital skills calendar continues at a blistering pace, following last week’s announcement of a fourth edition of the Elements of AI course.
The government’s year-round schedule of skill building and reskilling opportunities for learners of all backgrounds reflects the information society’s shifting needs and technologies.
In the context of Luxembourg’s continued economic strength and position as an EU innovation hub, various national departments and ministries use their unique expertise to prioritize digital skills. Here’s what’s happening later this month.
Skills & Jobs Workshop at Luxembourg Internet Days | Nov. 19 & 20, 2024
The highly popular Luxembourg Internet Days returns next week, bringing over 1,000 IT, ICT and OT professionals for an exciting collection of speeches, workshops and panel discussions.
The event will also be the backdrop for a Skills & Jobs Workshop, organized by the Luxembourg Skills and Jobs Coalition and supported by Innovative Initiatives. Geared to BTS students, the workshop gives young people a peek into relevant career paths.
Students will have the valuable opportunity to interact with IT/ICT/OT professionals active in the field. They will exchange ideas and tackle questions around leading internet themes, such as cybersecurity.
Each table of students will be led by one or two professionals. Support today’s youth and tomorrow’s workforce by lending your professional experience to the event!
