. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable local competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task included 4 parts: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, particularly females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after project conclusion. The 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 dedicated labour information system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
