Welcome to the Career and Technical Education Showcase
The US Department of Labor's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) program has created a free and open online library called SkillsCommons containing free and open learning materials and program support materials for job-driven workforce development. The Open Educational Resources (OER) are produced by over 700 community colleges across the nation and can be found, reused, revised, retained, redistributed and remixed by individuals, institutions, and industry. SkillsCommons.org is designed and managed by the California State University and its MERLOT program for the Department of Labor's TAACCCT program.
