. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and women in the external islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative 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 workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The job included four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed fundamentally the exact same after task conclusion. 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
dedication to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
