. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local proficient workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic 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 vocational education training system has actually remained basically the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s

dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
