. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local proficient personnel for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort 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 abilities training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained basically the same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
