. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between available 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed essentially the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
