Description
Summary:The Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program is a $2 billion federal workforce investment aimed at helping community colleges across the nation increase their capacity to provide education and training programs for in-demand jobs. This brief is one of four briefs from the national evaluation of the TAACCCT grants produced by The Urban Institute under contract to the US Department of Labor. The four briefs discuss 1) TAACCCT grant goals, design, and evaluation; 2) TAACCCT grantee characteristics; 3) TAACCCT grant approaches, industries, and partnerships; and 4) early results from the TAACCCT grants. From 2011 to 2014, DOL awarded four rounds of TAACCCT grants to colleges in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This paper provides an overview of the types of grants awarded, the geographic distribution of grants, and funding levels for grants in Rounds 1 through 4.
