. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two broader assessments- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional competent workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort 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 enhance skills training to offer well-trained workers required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national abilities training system. The task consisted of 4 elements: development of a profession awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project 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 actually remained fundamentally the very same after task completion. 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 establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market info system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
