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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 stayed basically the very same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
