. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 skills training to supply trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after job 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 federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
