. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard 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 employment education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
