. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 wider examinations- the local assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the unique evaluation research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external 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 government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Suitable local proficient personnel for existing task vacancies
were not available, for this reason the importation of properly competent foreign workers. Thus, there was an inequality between readily available tasks and abilities 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 enhance abilities training to offer well-trained employees needed for continual economic and social advancement. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide skills training system. The task consisted of 4 parts: development of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for ladies and youth, and institutional strengthening. The expected result was increased income-generating opportunities and work for trainees, particularly women and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was rated not successful. Limited development was accomplished in making the job responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The enduring weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary 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 project was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has actually remained essentially the same after job completion. The research study advanced that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
commitment to establishing a committed labour details system to connect technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry need. Although the task set up a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not totally operational.
