. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 vocational education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
