The SkillsCommons project, initiated in 2013 under California State University and MERLOT, led by Gerry Hanley, aimed to create a large repository of educational materials for workforce development. Supported by grants totaling nearly $2 billion from the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Community Colleges and Career Training (TAACCCT) program, it has become the world's largest collection of its kind. With over 180,000 users and 1.6 million downloads, it offers various resources including e-textbooks, online courses, and program management documents. Hanley's experience as both the executive director of MERLOT and the director of SkillsCommons has influenced its design and operation. The project team has been responsive to user needs, continuously developing new features and functions to enhance navigation and support users effectively.
