. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

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

were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 improve skills training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the same after project conclusion. The research 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

commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
