. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task 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 vocational education training system has remained basically the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
