ACWA is made possible 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 task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Hence, 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 occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially 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 actually remained essentially the exact same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
