. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary 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 develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
