. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed essentially the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
