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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack 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 economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 improve abilities training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed essentially the same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
