. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 occupation education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
