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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available 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 trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained employees required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 stayed fundamentally the same after project completion. The study put forward 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 developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
