The brief provides an overview of the types of Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants awarded, the geographic distribution of grant funding, and characteristics of the colleges receiving TAACCCT funding from the grants across the four rounds awarded (2011–14). This brief uses information from grantees’ original proposals and supporting documentation and data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to obtain a richer understanding of the types of institutions participating in TAACCCT. Starting at the grant level, this brief provides an overall structure of the TAACCCT grant awards and breaks down the grant funding allocations. Then, at the college level, it provides an overview of the colleges’ institutional structures and the types of students served, with a focus on Pell grant receipt and minority-serving institutions.
