The U.S. Department of Labor's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program is a multi-year $1.9 billion initiative to increase the ability of community colleges to help workers eligible for training under the TAA for Workers program, as well as a broad range of other adults. While the four rounds of grants funded by Congress have been awarded, grants are active through September 30, 2018. The impact of TAACCCT will extend long beyond that date, through the programs and practices sustained by grantees, the curriculum and other resources available on SkillsCommons.org, and evaluations that tell the story of what grantees learned.

For general information on TAACCCT grants, this page provides historical information on applications and grant awards for all rounds. In addition, grantee information about all four rounds can be found here:
