. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort 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 offer trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in 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 develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually stayed essentially the very same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
