. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, 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 vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 occupation education training system has stayed basically the same after project completion. The 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 dedicated labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
