. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate 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 info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
