. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 supply trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
