. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of four parts: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, enhanced skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed basically the exact same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
