ACWA is made possible 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 Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
