. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, especially females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor 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 standard education. The project 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 trade education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's

commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
