. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic 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 skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional competent workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 offer well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted progress 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 competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially 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 professional education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
