Program Details
Program Summary
The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) amended the
Trade Act of 1974 to authorize the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Community College
and Career Training Grant Program
(TAACCCT).
The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act signed by President
Barack Obama on March 30, 2010 included $2 billion over four years to fund the
program.
On January 20, 2011, the Department of Labor (DOL) announced the fiscal year 2011
grant competition for the TAACCCT program and DOL expects to award
approximately $500 million in grants through the grant program this year. By statute, the
program is designed to ensure that every state, through its eligible institutions of higher
education, will receive at least $2.5 million in grant awards. Eligible individual institutions
and consortia of eligible institutions were encouraged to apply. This funding will enable
eligible institutions of higher education to expand their capacity to provide quality
education and training services to Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers
program participants as well as other individuals to improve their knowledge and
skills and enable them to obtain high-quality employment.
The TAACCCT program is designed to meet industry needs while accelerating individual
learning and improving college retention and achievement rates. The overall goal is to
increase industry-recognized credential or degree completion rates of participants.
Projects are encouraged to use online or technology-enabled learning to achieve
these objectives. DOL is implementing the TAACCCT program in partnership with the
Department of Education. Applications for the first year were due to
DOL on April 21, 2011 and it is expected that grant awards will be announced by
September 30, 2011. Announcements 07-05-2011: The
Employment and Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the collection of data about
the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career
Training (TAACCCT) grant program. The
Federal Register Notice for this collection request can be obtained here.
