The Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVES) programme forms part of the government’s strategy to modernise the role that colleges and work based learning providers play in the national economy, by creating a network of CoVES to develop new, and enhance existing, high quality provision to meet the skills needs of employers. This report describes the progress of a sample of CoVEs towards the achievement of the eight desired programme outcomes, and comments on how CoVEs are measuring their progress towards each. The report also describes a series of future success factors identified by the CoVEs themselves, and makes recommendations, to CoVEs and the LSC, on areas which would benefit from further development.
