. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 actually remained essentially the exact same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
