On Thursday 29 October 2026, developers officially launched the Student.lu platform, designed to make student jobs and first jobs more accessible in Luxembourg.
Launched at the 40th Student Fair (Studentefoire) at the National Sports and Cultural Centre – d’Coque, the platform helps young people discover employers and their opportunities, from a first internship to a first job.
The developers said finding a first professional experience should not depend on who you know. Yet, in conversations with student.lu, students said that securing an internship often relies on connections or their parents’ networks. For those without that support, opportunities remain harder to find.
To make that search easier, student.lu brings together internships, student jobs and first jobs in Luxembourg, helping young people discover companies before applying.
Discovering employers and their occupations
For a young person seeking their first work experience, identifying potential employers is already an important step. Some companies are household names; others offer occupations that students might not readily associate with them.
On student.lu, each employer has a profile presenting its activities and occupations, with photos and videos featuring employees. Vacancies are organised by job type and occupation, and link directly to the employer’s application form. Candidates can also follow a company, receive its latest vacancies by email or send an unsolicited application.
“Young people do not always know where to look or which companies to approach. Without a network, some opportunities remain difficult to discover. With student.lu, we want to make these opportunities more visible and help young people take their first step into working life,” said Patrick Kersten, founder of student.lu.
Employers on board from launch
Student.lu has already secured the participation of a wide variety employers on the platform, including: Accentaigu; Banque de Luxembourg; BIL; Cactus; CFL; CK Group; Drees & Sommer; Eldoradio; Foyer; Lalux Assurances; Mediation Field Marketing; Mixvoip; MyConnectivity; Partao; POST Luxembourg; Proximus Luxembourg; RTL Group; Schroeder & Associés; Spuerkeess; and Voyages Emile Weber.
Staying connected with students abroad
The platform also serves Luxembourg students abroad. During their studies, they can follow the country’s employers, discover their occupations and prepare for their return, from a first internship to a first job.
For companies, student.lu offers a way to stay in touch with young talent educated across Europe, often multilingual and with strong ties to Luxembourg.
A guide to understanding the rules
Student.lu recognises that recent legislative changes have made the rules governing internships and student jobs harder for many young people and employers to understand. Its employment guide, available in French, German and English, explains them in accessible language using practical examples, helping everyone understand their rights and obligations: compulsory or voluntary internships, contract types, pay and the steps to take.
