. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 broader evaluations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate local proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities 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 offer well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 employment education training system has actually remained essentially the same after task conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a committed labour info system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
