. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.


These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Thus, 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 vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's

dedication to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.npr.org
