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

Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external 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 economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional competent workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 basically the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link 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 ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
