. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points 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 government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered 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 enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
