. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
