An international team of researchers studied the following aspects of training in Luxembourg's motor vehicle repair and sales sector: structure and characteristics; institutional and social context; relationship to Luxembourg's overall labor market; changing structural, economic, and organizational conditions; and training and recruitment and relationship to Luxembourg's education system. Social and labor/employment statistics were analyzed, and case studies of a 20-employee Saab importer/dealer/repairer and a 132-employee Mercedes-Benz importer/dealer were conducted. The case studies were concluded to confirm the following problems/trends in worker training in Luxembourg: shortage of skilled workers (especially workers born in Luxembourg); growing interest in continuing vocational training in response to economic and technological changes and to overcome the shortcomings of initial vocational training; and shortages of funding and time and absence of structured, forward-looking programs to develop human resources. Major national initiatives have been proposed to solve the identified problems: reforming training leading to advanced training certificates, restructuring initial training, and establishing a means of sharing training costs through state subsidies/fiscal incentives and company investment.
