. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to 2 wider assessments- the regional examination of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental 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 unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly proficient foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer trained workers required for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The task included 4 components: development of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Limited development 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 proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The job 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 occupation education training system has actually remained essentially the exact same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's
dedication to developing a dedicated labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry need. Although the job established a labour market info system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
