Business & Finance Excellence at City College

27 July 2005

The Business & Finance Centre at City College Brighton and Hove has been awarded 'Centre of Vocational Excellence' (CoVE) status by the Learning and Skills Council. The award was recently presented to Jon Pugh, Director of Business & Hospitality, by Dr Norman Boyland, Chair of the Council at LSC Sussex. The CoVE is run in partnership with the Business School at Northbrook College in Worthing.

CoVEs are specialist areas of vocational provision characterised by close links between colleges, other providers, business partners, employers and communities. They aim to produce highly qualified and skilled workers with excellent employment and career prospects which meet the skills needs of the local economy.
