. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job 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 fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
