. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external 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 growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task included four components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop 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 exact same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
