ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

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

were unavailable, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard 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 professional education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
