. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the efficiency of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique 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 weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high among the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Ideal local skilled workers for existing job vacancies
were not available, hence the importation of appropriately proficient foreign employees. Hence, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to offer well-trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 components: development of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, improved skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked unsuccessful. Limited progress was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or participating in voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic 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 employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after project conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with market need. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
