Online Info Session: Centres of Vocational Excellence 2026 - European Education and Culture Executive Agency Online Info Session: Centres of Vocational Excellence 2026 Close This event has ended. The Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) are the pillars of excellent vocational education in Europe.
They provide high quality vocational skills in specific areas for initial training of young people as well as for continuing up-skilling and re-skilling of adults.
Yet, the CoVE are also intended to achieve much more: innovate teaching and learning methods, work closely with businesses, social partners, and universities, develop inclusive approaches to ensure no one is left behind, and foster regional and local development, among other activities.
This Erasmus action aims to create innovative and responsive VET institutions capable of rapidly adapting skills provision to the economic and social needs. It aims at creating synergy between partners from all over the world in the creation of skills ecosystems. Moreover, this action will provide young people and adults with the skills for fulfilling careers in an innovative, inclusive and sustainable economy.
