ECCE EXPLAINED

The European Certificate in Community Enterprise (ECCE) is a new European-level vocational qualification developed by partners from UK, France, Spain, Sweden and Romania. During the life of the project they combined their knowledge and experience to create a relevant, flexible and needs- driven qualification to specifically support growth across Europe's Social Economy. ECCE also sets up a new Learning Network as a way of disseminating and mainstreaming ECCE and its specialist toolkit.
