. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained basically the same after project completion. The study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
