. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained essentially the very same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
