. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies

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

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the same after project 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 developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
