. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to 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 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 basically the very same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
