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 performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
