. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing task vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
