. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed basically the very same after job completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
