. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad 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 credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 remained basically the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
