. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external 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 development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available jobs and abilities 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 approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide well-trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard 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 actually remained fundamentally the same after job completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
