. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two wider examinations- the regional evaluation of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low academic achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of basic education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the trade and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was specifically high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable local knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, hence the importation of appropriately knowledgeable foreign employees. 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 employment education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to supply well-trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four components: development of a career awareness program, skills training improvement, improved abilities training chances for women and youth, and institutional fortifying. The expected outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. In general, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Limited development was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weak point of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of standard education. The task was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and vocational education training system has stayed essentially the same after job conclusion. The study advanced 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 connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
