The very first day of the workshop covered important issues associated with gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack 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 unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic 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 same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
