On July 1, 2022, the termination provision under Section 285(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, took effect. Until further notice, the US Labor Department may not issue any determinations and may not accept any new petitions or requests for reconsideration.  Requests to amend current certifications may still be filed.  Current participants in the TAA program, including those in training, will continue to receive services as usual. Workers who were certified and separated from their job on or before June 30, 2022, may still be eligible for benefits and services.  See TEGL 13-21 for more details.  

Apprenticeship Through the TAA Program

In appropriate circumstances, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program (TAA) represents another funding vehicle to support apprenticeship. To understand “supporting apprenticeship using TAA funding,” it may be helpful to first look at the basic components of an apprenticeship program. Specifically, apprenticeship is an “earn and learn” training model that combines work-based training with related class instruction using the highest industry standards.

The following sections explain how TAA funding can support core apprenticeship components.
