. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal regional proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, especially ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
