ENE is intended to encourage the sharing of ideas, practices and experience between centres of vocational excellence at both national and international levels. The development and sharing of excellence is supported by ENE self-assessment tool (ENESAT) that helps centres align their own development with that of other members of the network. In addition, ENE works on development partnerships through which groups of centres of excellence work together to improve in specific domains.
ENE is working on 10 themes:
- Lifelong learning and vocational excellence
- Education-business cooperation (e.g., work-based learning, public-private partnerships)
- Pedagogy and professional development
- Entrepreneurial dimension of vocational excellence
- Industry 4.0/5.0 and digitalisation
- Autonomy and institutional development (financing, leadership, governance)
- Going green – supporting sustainable goals
- Smart specialisation – mobilising innovation, ecosystems, and SMEs
- Excellence in social inclusion and equity
- Career guidance and vocational excellence
