The first day of the workshop covered vital problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The importance of incorporating gender equality and social inclusion into all job elements was likewise gone over.

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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could 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 actually stayed essentially the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
