. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
