. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained basically the same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
