. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients 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 going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has actually remained essentially the same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
