. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader examinations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 actually stayed essentially the exact same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
