. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might not develop 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 stayed essentially the same after project conclusion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
