. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive evaluations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, thus the importation of properly skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after job conclusion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
