Abstract	This report is another milestone of the European Training Foundation's (ETF) project 'Decentralising vocational education and training (VET) in Ukraine: Momentum for action', launched in 2016 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science (MoES) of Ukraine. This project identified several priority areas for steering systemic reforms in the country's VET policies: (1) good multilevel governance (institutional, communication and financial aspects); (2) optimisation and rationalisation of VET school networks; (3) VET school autonomy and accountability; and (4) public-private partnerships (PPPs) for VET and skills development. The exploration of a possible role and function for the regional VET councils in Ukraine was a further step towards tackling these issues from the logic of decentralisation of VET policies (ETF/Galvin Arribas et al., 2018). Following this exercise, the ETF and the MoES agreed to focus on improving the effectiveness of regional VET networks, working together to set up centres of vocational excellence and innovation (CoVEs) in Ukraine. The paper is the result of a combination of desk research, a wide consultation process, particularly through meetings and group discussions with the key stakeholders organised in five regions of the country and the city of Kyiv, and mapping of the Ukrainian regions. It proposes options for the establishment and operationalisation of CoVEs. It also identifies possible challenges and the measures that could be taken to overcome them. Chapter 1 explains the methodology that supports this report. Chapter 2 covers the main national and regional socioeconomic indicators that inform the current structural conditions for the reform of VET networks. Chapter 3 introduces the main elements to be taken into consideration when setting up CoVEs, including a broad typology of possible forms that CoVEs can take in Ukraine (and perhaps elsewhere). Chapter 4 introduces the main conclusions and policy messages, and the annexes present international practices relating to CoVEs that might inform decisions taken in Ukraine. The report aims to inspire other ETF partner countries that might decide to set up CoVEs. [For "Decentralising Vocational Education and Training in Ukraine: Momentum for Action.
