. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation 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, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish 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 actually remained essentially the very same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
