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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
