. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly 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 trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative 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 enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has remained fundamentally the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
