. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

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

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained essentially the very same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
