. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task 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 occupation education training system has actually remained basically the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
