Conceptual framework of entrepreneurial centres of vocational excellence

This document lays down the conceptual framework defining the Entrepreneurial Centres of Vocational Excellence (EntreCoVEs). It describes specific characteristics and activities that set them apart as being ‘entrepreneurial’.

The ETF developed this conceptual framework based on its long-standing work in promoting entrepreneurial learning across vocational education and training systems with the aim of boosting employability in its partner countries.

The framework is a contribution for reflection to the community of researchers, policy makers and practitioners working on entrepreneurship and vocational training. Information regarding work done by the ETF related to EntreCoVEs is available on a dedicated webpage on the ETF portal.
