ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance 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 efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
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 job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained basically the same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
