The seven-year TAACCCT program awarded nearly $2 billion to more than 700 community colleges to increase the ability of community colleges to address workforce needs.   In February 2021, the Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grant launched, drawing from TAACCCT’s key priorities and findings. The Department of Labor’s Chief Evaluation Office and Employment and Training Administration are hosting a three-part roundtable series focused on sharing lessons learned from TAACCCT with current community college grantees and the wider workforce development community. Each session will feature expert speakers with time for audience Q&A.
