. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 improve abilities training to offer trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could 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 vocational education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the very same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
