. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation 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 amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained employees needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project included four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic 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 stayed essentially the exact same after job 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 info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
