More on the Webinar
In many grant-funded projects, funders and grantees often assume
that the activities will continue when the grant is over. But for many, sustaining
grant-funded efforts is elusive, and often becomes an exercise in finding the
next grant. Fortunately, a host of strategies exist to maintain key aspects of funded
projects. This webinar features four Trade
Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT)
community college grantees, who have continued their innovations through a
variety of creative approaches.
In the webinar, three
strategies for continuing grant-funded activities will be discussed, including
ones to
- accelerate credential attainment;
- support program completion; and
- engage employers and align programs with labor market need.
The examples shared come from TAACCCT, but the approaches can work
for anyone seeking to make a long-term impact with a grant-funded project.
Speakers from four community colleges will describe how they continued and
institutionalized their projects, as well as the challenges they faced. The
audience will have time to ask questions and reflect on how the varying
approaches might be applied to their own projects. Join us to help move your
sustainability plans forward!
This webinar is part of a series showcasing strategies and
resources developed by community colleges, which may interest institutions
engaged in career-focused education and training. The final webinar in the
series, on May 16, is “Free Resources for
Apprenticeship & Work-based Learning.” Previous topics (available as
recordings) explored (1) making industry experts into expert instructors to
increase student success, (2) scaling career pathways in Wisconsin, and (3) resources
for developmental education using competency-based education. For more

Success Webinar Series.
