. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide well-trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated not successful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has actually remained basically the same after task completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
