. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to offer trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has stayed basically the very same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a committed labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the project established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
