ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and skills 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 approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained essentially the very 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
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
