. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed fundamentally the very same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
