. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative 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 provide well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 vocational education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
