. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
