The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program is a federal program that provides aid to workers who lose their jobs or whose hours of work and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. TAA offers a variety of reemployment services to assist unemployed workers to prepare for and obtain suitable employment.

Not everyone who is eligible to participate in the Trade Adjustment Assistance program will need training. Trade-impacted individuals work with staff in the One-Stop or another designated workforce development agency to determine what type of services are needed and whether or not training is needed to find a new job.

One-Stop and other designated staff will work with individuals to evaluate employment history, skills, education, labor market conditions and history of the job search to determine training eligibility and the most appropriate type of training.
