Fund, with the job 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 job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 improve skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project included 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic 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 stayed essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The research study advanced 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 establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
