. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained basically the exact same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
