ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the task co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Limited development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
