. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative 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 offer well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst 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 project was supply-driven and could 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 vocational education training system has actually stayed essentially the very same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
