During the workshop, individuals checked out Rongrong Island and examined the 15,000-gallon Flatpack Modular water tank installed at the Rongrong High School Boys Dormitory as part of the ACWA job.

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 Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
