Women and Youth Training for
Gender Equality, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Safety Management has actually recently happened at the University of the South Pacific's school in Majuro, the Republic of the Marshall Islands(RMI ).

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 Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external 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 development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 occupation education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
