. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities 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 external islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 essentially the exact same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
