. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental 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 trade education training system has actually stayed essentially the very same after project completion. The research 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

dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
