The significance of integrating gender equality and social inclusion into all task elements was likewise talked about.

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack 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 joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 employment education training system has stayed essentially the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government’s

commitment to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
