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

Fund, with the project 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 broader examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard 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 private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could 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 employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VpyVCNzs7eM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen style="float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;"></iframe>
