. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external 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 private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted 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
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 trade education training system has stayed basically the same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
