. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 abilities training to supply well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained basically the very same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
