. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental 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 joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply trained employees required for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training opportunities for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Restricted progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to 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 needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.
