. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available 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 offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited 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 remained basically the very same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
