. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was particularly high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Appropriate regional skilled personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills 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 provide trained employees needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The project consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, especially females and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the exact same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and vocational education training program offerings with market demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully operational.procurel.com
