. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into 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 economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
