On Monday 6 July 2026, the finalist students from the Practice Enterprise programme gathered at the Chamber of Commerce for the National Training Companies Final, organised by the non-profit organisation Jonk Entrepreneuren Luxembourg.
Of the 10 finalist teams selected, 7 ultimately took part in the final and presented their business to a jury. Each team had the opportunity to highlight their business concept, management approach, lessons learnt and the challenges they had faced throughout the school year.
Following a welcome address by Yves Wiltgen, deputy director of Jonk Entrepreneuren Luxembourg, the awards ceremony officially began.
The jury then withdrew to deliberate and select this year’s winners. Three prizes were awarded: the 2026 Best Day-to-Day Management Award, which takes into account various criteria assessed throughout the academic year; the 2026 Best Final Presentation Award; and the 2026 Best Training Company Award.
The Practice Enterprise concept has existed since the 1950s and is now implemented in many countries across various sectors, including education, vocational training and professional reintegration. In Luxembourg, the concept was introduced into the school curriculum in 2006 as a compulsory subject in general secondary education – vocational training stream – administrative and commercial division.
