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

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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement 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 employment and technical education system.

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

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after project completion. 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 connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
