Women and Youth Training for

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the very same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
