. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two broader evaluations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the unique assessment research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and shortage of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the low quality of fundamental education, absence of access to education in the outer 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 private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high among the youth and women in the external islands. Suitable regional competent personnel for existing task vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Thus, there was a mismatch in between available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the initiative for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and professional education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project consisted of four parts: advancement of a career awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional fortifying. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for trainees, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was rated not successful. Limited progress was achieved in making the job responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy proficiencies
among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts entering college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of fundamental education. The job was supply-driven and might 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 professional education training system has remained essentially the very 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 devoted labour information system to link technical and trade education training program offerings with market demand. Although the task established a labour market details system, in the lack of in-house staff capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
