. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available 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 skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 trade education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
