. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence 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 economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 occupation education training system has stayed basically the exact same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
