. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private 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 essentially the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
