. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private 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 basically the same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
