The Government has allocated $5 million of funding a year, for up to five years, for the two CoVEs.

      CoVEs are intended to be an enduring part of the vocational education system, but their purpose, deliverables and membership may change over time. The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) makes sure each CoVE is a genuine centre of excellence, bringing together the right people to identify opportunities, solve problems and drive innovation.
