. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project 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 occupation education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
