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 project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed fundamentally the very same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
