. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality 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 enhance skills training to provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic 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 professional education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
