. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project 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 trade education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
