. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable regional skilled workers for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and could 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 actually stayed basically the same after project conclusion. The research 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
dedication to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
