On Monday 7 July 2025, more than 100 students gathered for the National Practice Enterprise Finals, organised by  Jonk Entrepreneuren Luxembourg at the Chamber of Commerce.

10 finalist teams were chosen from a total of 19 companies from 13 secondary schools. During the final, the students presented their company, their learnings and the challenges and successes of their business to a panel of judges. After the jury’s deliberation, Mr Yves Wiltgen, Deputy Director, launched the prize-giving ceremony by encouraging the young people to be proud of all they had achieved this year and urging them to continue developing their skills.

Three prizes were awarded, including Best Day-to-Day Management 2025 (taking into account criteria assessed throughout the school year), Best Presentation at the 2025 Final and Best Practice Enterprise 2025 (taking into account the results of the Best Day-to-Day Management, the Practice Enterprise Fair in December, a social media challenge and presentations at the final).

The concept of the Practice Enterprise (L’Entreprise d’Entraînement – EE) has been around since the 1950s and has been implemented in many countries across a range of sectors (education, vocational training, vocational rehabilitation, etc.). In Luxembourg, the concept was introduced into the school curriculum as a compulsory course in 2006. Since then, the Practice Enterprie has been a course taught in general secondary education – vocational training system – administrative and commercial division.
