. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed basically the same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
