. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local skilled workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included four components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic 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 fundamentally the very same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
