. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
