. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points 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 government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the exact same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
