. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, thus the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, particularly females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among 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 job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the very same after task conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
