. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental 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 joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal 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 proficiencies
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 basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained essentially the same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
