. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment 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 occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local competent workers for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly females and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish 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 essentially the very same after job completion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
