. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Hence, 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 focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to supply trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The job included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Minimal progress was attained in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after project conclusion. The research study put forward 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 devoted labour information system to link technical and professional education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
