Mapping Centres of Vocational Excellence

Knowledge on CoVEs #Center of Vocational Excellence #Publication

Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) are developing into an important component of EU VET policy. During late 2018 and early 2019, an exercise was conducted to delineate CoVEs in terms of their main characteristics, with a view to informing the concept and the development of EU support plans. This report presents the findings of this mapping exercise.

The report concludes that many different types of CoVEs exist. Each CoVE and each CoVE network is unique, reflecting factors such as the structure of the industry and the underlying VET system. Furthermore, each CoVE offers a unique mix of activities. CoVEs have the freedom to adapt to local/regional and sectoral needs in terms of structures, stakeholders and activities, with the aim of increasing VET’s responsiveness.

The report can be found here.
