Centres of Vocational Excellence are created to foster localized “skills ecosystems” with the aim of delivering top-notch vocational training to both young individuals and adults. Additionally, they contribute to regional progress, innovation, the formation of industrial clusters, the implementation of smart specialization strategies, and the promotion of social inclusion.
When working in CoVes for international collaborative networks, they establish a grassroots method for achieving vocational excellence, engaging a wide array of local stakeholders. This empowers vocational education and training (VET) institutions to swiftly adapt their skill offerings in response to evolving economic and social demands.
The further promote local business growth by close collaboration with companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), on applied research projects. This leads to the establishment of knowledge and innovation hubs, along with support for entrepreneurial endeavors undertaken by their learners. These centres can work on two levels: national and international and are especially popular in England.
This practice is applicable directly in VET and is also transferable to other teachers.
CoVes could offer training courses for VET educators through close collaborations with the employers. Moreover, CoVes could be applied not only on national and international level, but also on local level. CoVes could be established even in every Vocational Training centre which will improve the quality of the work, as well as the professional development of the educators.
