. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative 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 improve skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary 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 project was supply-driven and might 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 actually stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
