. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider examinations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality 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 trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Minimal development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 employment education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The study advanced 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 establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
