The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project

The establishment of skills standards was one of the main thrusts of the project which was not attained in view of weak capacity. As such, a phased approach could have been useful to take into account the limited technical capacity to formulate and implement skills standards, testing, and certification of trained workers. This could have been undertaken under a separate program prior to the project, covering a longer period of time and targeting priority employment areas.
