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 efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal local proficient workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
