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 Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
