. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of standard 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 unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained employees needed for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four components: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically females and youth in the external islands. Overall, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted progress was attained in making the task 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 partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish 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 basically the exact same after project completion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the government's
commitment to developing a committed labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market demand. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
