. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment 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, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional 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 females in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available tasks 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 supply trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has remained basically the same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate 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 connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
