. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 trade education training system has actually stayed basically the same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
