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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
