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

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational 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 weaknesses in skills 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. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among 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 economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s

commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
