ACWA is made possible 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 Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities 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 abilities training to offer trained employees required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 employment education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
