. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.
These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has remained essentially the same after job completion. 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 government’s
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
