. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider evaluations- the regional assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable local proficient workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The job included four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked not successful. Restricted development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 vocational education training system has remained essentially the exact same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a devoted labour information system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task set up a labour market info system, in the lack of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
