. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional 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 ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard 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 employment education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to developing a committed labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
