The Southwest Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (TAAC) assists U.S. manufacturing firms hurt by import competition to regain profitable growth. The Southwest TAAC helps its clients document their technical needs; then plan, implement and pay for the highest quality technical assistance available.


The program provides a means for the firm to immediately carry out specific improvement projects which have been deferred due to financial or manpower constraints. Consulting services are secured for the company on a cost-sharing basis with the Southwest TAAC assuming up to 50% or 75% of the cost of qualified projects.


All business information, including trade secrets and financial information, is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act and treated with strict confidentiality.


The Southwest TAAC is staffed by full-time professionals with hands-on manufacturing experience who are employees of The University of Texas at San Antonio through a cooperative agreement funded by the Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.
