The brief provides an overview of the various approaches the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grantees planned to implement, the industries targeted at the start of their grants, the degrees and certifications they planned to develop, and the types of partnerships grantees would leverage during the grants. These activities are the core of what the grantees intended to do during their grant period. This brief uses data from grantees’ original grant applications and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to provide a better understanding of the programs developed by TAACCCT grantees. This brief begins with a discussion of the grantees’ planned program components and supports and continues with a summary of the industries targeted by the grantees in their respective programs. This brief then identifies the degrees and certifications the grantees planned to develop. Finally, it highlights the variety of partnerships the grantees planned to develop and expand with employers, the public workforce system, and other organizations.
