. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually stayed basically the very same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
