. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
