. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor 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 federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 professional education training system has remained essentially the very same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
