. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the very same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate 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 professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
