Report |
This report looks at the findings of a survey by GHK and Ipsos UK who were commissioned in October 2003 by the Learning and Skills Council to develop and undertake a survey of employers using the services of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE), Their aim was to identify the extent to which involvement with the programme was influencing their attitudes towards, and engagement with, post-16 learning, and the FE sector in particular. In parallel with this survey, a qualitative interview programme involving a wide range of programme stakeholders examined this ‘attitudinal impact’ in more detail, including its influence on stimulating collaboration between CoVEs and other post-16 providers, and in contributing to various aspects of the regional and sectoral skills development agenda.
