. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weak points in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable local skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to provide trained employees needed for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The task included 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Minimal development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could 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 employment education training system has remained basically the very same after task conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to developing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
