. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 improve abilities training to offer well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 trade education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
