. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project 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 employment education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
