. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard 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 joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst 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 basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the very same after job completion. The study advanced 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 devoted labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
