In 2012 and 2014, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to fund contractors Urban Institute and Abt Associates to conduct the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Initiative National Evaluation. The implementation and outcomes evaluation, as well as a synthesis of third-party grantee evaluations, aims to document promising practices to deliver workforce education and training programs. 

The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation synthesizes findings from 87 third-party evaluations of the Rounds 1 and 2 TAACCCT grants. The findings are based on the final evaluation reports that assess the implementation of the grant activities and estimate the impact of TAACCCT on the education and employment outcomes of participants.

The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation describes the activities among all 263 of the Round 4 TAACCCT colleges based on a survey conducted in the fourth and final year of their grants. The findings support a growing body of evidence—from the national evaluation and third-party evaluations across all rounds—on the colleges’ partnerships, participant recruitment activities, and the strategies that encourage accelerated and enhanced learning, college persistence and completion, and connections to employment.

The report of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) national evaluation synthesizes impact findings from 23 Round 3 third party evaluations that used quasi-experimental methods to estimate the impact of the TAACCCT projects on participants’ education and employment outcomes. Evaluators used statistical strategies to draw comparison groups that were similar on observable characteristics to the TAACCCT participant groups.
