. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal development was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard 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 trade education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
