. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
