. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the project 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 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 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 fundamentally the very same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
