. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two wider assessments- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity 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 abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional competent personnel for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was rated not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into 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 establish a strong linkage with economic 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 essentially the same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
