. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the project and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mainly due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Joblessness was especially high among the youth and ladies in the external islands. Appropriate regional experienced workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer trained employees required for sustained financial and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of four components: advancement of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was ranked not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering 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 develop 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 stayed basically the same after task conclusion. The study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour info system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
