. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal regional proficient personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and could 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 trade education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might motivate 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 link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
