. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental 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 economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing job vacancies were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Governmentof the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop 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 basically the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s
dedication to establishing a devoted labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
