. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop 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 stayed essentially the very same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
