The first day of the workshop covered important issues connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The significance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was likewise gone over.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the support of the Green Climate

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack 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 occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between 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 occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task 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 professional education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
