. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive assessments- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic 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 weaknesses in skills 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. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately skilled foreign employees. Hence, there was a mismatch between offered tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to supply well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, enhanced abilities training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or participating in voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and might 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 vocational education training system has remained fundamentally the exact same after project 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
dedication to developing a devoted labour details system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry need. Although the project set up a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
