. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities 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 especially high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills 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 supply trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained basically the exact same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
