The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader examinations- the local examination 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 mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.<br><br><br>These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies<br> were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government<br>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 provide trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies.

The task 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 vocational education training system has actually remained basically the very same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's<br><br>dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need.
