. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional 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 amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative 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 enhance abilities training to provide trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 employment education training system has remained fundamentally the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government’s

dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
