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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed basically the very same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
