. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic 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 joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task 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 occupation education training system has remained essentially the same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
