. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader examinations- the local examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly skilled foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative 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 skills training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national skills training system. The project included 4 parts: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. In general, the task was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
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 basic education. The task was supply-driven and might 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 occupation education training system has actually stayed essentially the exact same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
