. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 improve abilities training to provide trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
