. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 improve abilities training to offer trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing 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 attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed basically the same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
