. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local skilled personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily 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 trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The research study put forward 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 dedicated labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
