. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 improve abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 employment education training system has remained essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
