Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands


. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.


These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project 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 employment education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
