. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement 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 weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional proficient workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered 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 abilities training to supply trained employees needed for sustained financial and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
