. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad 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 standard education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 occupation education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
