Fund, with the job co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to 2 more comprehensive examinations- the local assessment of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional achievement and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the low quality of standard 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 joblessness because of constrained private sector development and government downsizing. Unemployment was specifically high amongst the youth and females in the external islands. Appropriate regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies
were unavailable, for this reason the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between offered jobs and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the effort for the Government
of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB approved a loan for $9.1 million to enhance skills training to provide trained workers needed for sustained economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The job included 4 elements: development of a career awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted skills training chances for females and youth, and institutional conditioning. The expected result was increased income-generating chances and employment for trainees, particularly women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the job was ranked not successful. Restricted progress was accomplished in making the task responsive to the requirements of its beneficiaries and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies
amongst public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts getting in college or going to voc-tech education could be partly attributed to the poor quality of basic education. The project was supply-driven and could not develop a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually remained fundamentally the same after task completion. The study advanced that ADB could motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy discussion, to follow through on the federal government's
dedication to establishing a devoted labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job set up a labour market info system, in the absence of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
