. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the project and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and lack 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 professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and women in the external islands. Ideal regional experienced workers for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of appropriately competent foreign workers. Therefore, there was an inequality between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort 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 improve abilities training to provide well-trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 elements: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, specifically women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated unsuccessful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed basically the exact same after job conclusion. The study advanced that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour information system to connect technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the project set up a labour market details system, in the absence of internal staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
