. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was attained 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
among 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 job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained basically the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
