Vocational Excellence Framework

Tasked with improving vocational excellence, Food and Fibre CoVE needed a robust way to assess the current state, and to measure and report on any improvements.

The rubrics began as a set of measures and an initial attribute framework based on: Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Adaptability. 

The Vocational Excellence Framework consists of 12 rubrics grouped into three areas: People, Provision and Processes, with each rubric comprised of a two dimensional matrix and can be used in several ways:

• Guiding project design
• Identifying existing examples of excellence to promote
• Monitoring the state of vocational education in the sector.

Developed as a living framework, a four-step approach to maintaining, growing and evolving the framework includes:

1. Addressing gaps where part of the VET system are not covered, or well-covered.
2. Adapting and expanding the framework to cover the non-formal training system.
3. Expanding consultation with stakeholders and seek further input and ideas.
4. Making incremental improvements as and when new projects are commissioned by accommodating new elements and/or developing new rubrics as necessary.
