. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal local competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 offer well-trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
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 task was supply-driven and could 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 occupation education training system has remained basically the very same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.aucd.org
