. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied 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 skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed basically the exact same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government’s
commitment to developing a committed labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
