. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider evaluations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable local competent workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has remained basically the same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour info system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.ntcinfo.org
