. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard 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 trade education training system has stayed basically the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to establishing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
