. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the job and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two broader assessments- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal local competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of properly experienced foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply trained workers needed for sustained economic and social advancement. This was to be accomplished through an integrated national skills training system. The task consisted of four elements: advancement of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved abilities training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. Overall, the task was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job 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 occupation education training system has actually remained basically the very same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate 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 info system to connect technical and vocational education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
