. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Assesses the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of fundamental education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the employment and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector development and federal government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the external islands. Ideal local skilled personnel for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between readily available 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 authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for continual financial and social advancement. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job consisted of 4 parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training improvement, improved skills training opportunities for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly ladies and youth in the external islands. In general, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weak point of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or attending voc-tech education could be partially attributed to the poor quality of fundamental education. The task was supply-driven and might not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the needs of the labour market. The status of the technical and professional education training system has stayed basically the same after task completion. The study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a dedicated labour information system to link technical and employment education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market information system, in the lack of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not totally functional.
