. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 supply well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental 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 vocational education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
