. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary 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 project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has remained fundamentally the very same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could 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 information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
