The very first day of the workshop covered important concerns related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The importance of incorporating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was likewise talked about.

ACWA is enabled thanks to the assistance 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 efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment 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 skills training and the trade and technical education system.

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

were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort 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 improve skills training to offer trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained 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 primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 employment education training system has remained essentially the exact same after job completion. The study put forward 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 in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
