ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 very same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
