. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Limited development was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 remained essentially the very same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
