. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive assessments- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was a mismatch in between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained workers needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The job included 4 components: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Restricted development was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in 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 trade education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after task completion. The research study put forward that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
