. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
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 supply well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into 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 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 professional education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
