COVESSIn is a planned Centre of vocational Education project, under the Erasmus+ Programme. 

This website has served as an internal communication platform for project partners during the drafting phase. In the event of project approval, the site will be redesigned and re-launched to provide information about the established  regional COVEs and the projects outputs.
