. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing task vacancies

were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of 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 opportunities and work for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies

amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic 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 employment education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
