Food and Fibre CoVE is an initiative of the Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence Society Incorporated. Members of the Society include industry peak bodies, employers and training providers from the food and fibre sector. Their projects champion vocational excellence, drive innovation, and focus on attracting and retaining talent. Vocational Excellence Framework Rubrics were developed to establish criteria for the food and fibre sector to measure vocational excellence against and achieved in the design and delivery of vocational education and training. 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.
