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 national training council ).

The first day of the workshop covered important problems connected to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands. It included conversations on gender equality and mainstreaming, focusing on the effects of environment modification on water security and the disproportionate effects on susceptible groups. The value of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all job aspects was also talked about.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external 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 economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 abilities training to offer trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 vocational education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
