. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 broader examinations- the regional examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to supply well-trained employees needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Limited progress was attained in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental 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 trade education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after job conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
