. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Therefore, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 enhance abilities training to supply trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job consisted of four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, specifically ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the exact same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour info system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
