. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on 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 required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 actually remained basically the same after project completion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
