. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider assessments- the regional assessment 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 mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local knowledgeable workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, especially females and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has stayed essentially the same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with market need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
