. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills 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. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Ideal local competent workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 enhance abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the very same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
