. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

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 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 stayed essentially the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
