. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment 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 skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort 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 skills training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task 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 remained basically the very same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government’s
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
