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 local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task 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 trade education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
