. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 broader examinations- the local evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and females in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, thus the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality in between available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided 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 enhance skills training to supply trained employees required for continual economic and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated national skills training system. The task included 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially women and youth in the external islands. Overall, the project was rated unsuccessful. Limited progress was achieved in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of fundamental 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 professional education training system has actually stayed fundamentally the 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 government's
commitment to establishing a committed 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 absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not completely functional.
