ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 vocational education training system has actually remained basically the very same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
