In November 2004, the Learning and Skills Council commissioned GHK and IPSOS Public Affairs to undertake the second annual survey of employers using the services of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) together with a programme of qualitative interviews with key programme stakeholders. This is the second year of a research study that aims to track longitudinally the programme's influence on employer and stakeholder attitudes towards, and engagement with, post-16 learning and the FE sector in particular. Qualitative discussions with stakeholders provided the opportunity to examine 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.
