. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses 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 especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative 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 improve skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 occupation education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
