. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence 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 economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after job completion. The study put forward 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 developing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
