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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 occupation education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
