Opportunity Summary:
The Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grants Program was a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration discretionary grant opportunity intended to strengthen the capacity of community colleges and other eligible institutions of higher education to deliver short-term, workforce-focused education and training. The program made up to $500 million available nationwide to help schools expand and improve programs that can be completed in two years or less and that are aligned with the needs of workers eligible for training under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers program. The core goal was to help displaced or trade-affected workers gain marketable skills more quickly and move into high-wage, high-skill occupations by improving the availability, quality, and relevance of career training.
Funding under this opportunity was structured to support either single institutions applying on their own or groups of institutions applying together as a consortium. The Department anticipated awards in the range of $2.5 million to $5 million for individual applicants, while consortium applications could request larger awards, ranging from $2.5 million up to a $20 million ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument type was a federal grant, and the applicable CFDA number listed for the program was 17.282.
Eligible applicants were accredited institutions of higher education as defined under Section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002) that offer educational programs that can be completed in no more than two years. This includes public institutions as well as proprietary and other nonprofit educational institutions, as long as they meet the definition of an institution of higher education and satisfy accreditation requirements. Applicants were required to be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and the Department indicated it would reference the Department of Education accreditation database during eligibility review. The announcement noted that the broader category of institutions of higher education can include two-year and four-year colleges and universities and also referenced institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic-Serving Institutions, with additional eligibility specifics available in the full Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA), Section III.
From a program design standpoint, TAACCCT was aimed at helping schools build or scale career pathways and training options that are closely connected to employment outcomes, particularly in sectors that offer strong wages and require higher-level skills. The emphasis on completion within two years reflects the program’s focus on accelerating credentials and improving employability for participants, especially workers impacted by trade-related job loss or displacement who may need a faster route back into stable work. Although the summary does not list required activities in detail, the stated intent to “expand and improve” training delivery typically implies investments in curriculum development, equipment, instructional capacity, student supports, and stronger alignment with workforce needs so that programs lead more directly to jobs in in-demand fields.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on January 20, 2011, and the application deadline was April 21, 2011, with applications required to be received no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
