. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained employees needed for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop 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 actually stayed essentially the exact same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
