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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points 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 federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the very same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
