. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
