. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative 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 improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst 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 could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has remained basically the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
