. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted progress 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
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
