. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained essentially the exact same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
