. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly 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 occupation education training system has stayed basically the same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could 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 info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
