DOL TAACCCT Grant Programs

DOL TAACCCT Grant Programs

Innovation, impact and individual student success were hallmarks of four major U.S. Department of Labor grants at St. Louis Community College. Over the past seven years, the college received four rounds of Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) funding from the DOL. These grants launched students on career pathways in four focus areas: Health Care, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics, and STEM. Highlights include:

  • Development of successful new programs of study including: Community Health Worker, Medical Assistant, Precision Machining Technology, Truck Driving, and an accelerated hybrid version of IT Help Desk/End-User Support.
  • Innovation in developmental education which resulted in the Adult Learning Academy, where students learn at their own pace and gain the confidence necessary to advance their education.
  • Intrusive advising for the 2,300 plus students enrolled under the grants, using a team approach with career pathway coaches, faculty and educational assistants working together for student success.
  • Collaboration with hundreds of St. Louis area employers, building and expanding relationships with these important partners.
  • Cooperation with community colleges around the state of Missouri, and across eight states along the Mississippi River, through the TAACCCT consortia.

More than 1,400 students completed one or more programs during the six-year period, and more than 3,850 industry-recognized credentials were awarded to TAACCCT participants at St. Louis Community College.
