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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental 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 private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job 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
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
