Material Detail

SkillsCommons is a free and open online library of Open Educational Resources (OER) for Workforce Development.   SkillsCommons.org is designed and managed by the California State University and its MERLOT program for the Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training  (TAACCCT) Repository. The CSU-MERLOT strategy is to progressively develop SkillsCommons.org services to:

• Capture and preserve instructional and program support materials produced and/or used by TAACCCT grantees to deliver their innovative workforce development programs
• Enable discovery of the SkillsCommons.org materials so others can easily reuse the materials to accelerate and expand access to workforce development programs.
• Build communities with members from higher education, industry, and local, regional, state, and national organizations to assure the quality and growth in the collection of free, open, reusable and effective instructional and program support materials
• Build sustainable organizations and services enabling the longer term returns on the TAACCCT investments.

With over 700 community college institutions contributing to the repository, the open library of materials at SkillsCommons.org will expand over the next few years. New features are being developed that will allow end-users to better preview courses and materials in the repository.
