. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed basically the very same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
