ACWA is enabled thanks to the support 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 Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project 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 employment education training system has remained basically the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
