. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed fundamentally the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
