National Apprenticeship Resources

NASTAD
National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors

The National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors (NASTAD) was originally established to promote and achieve an effective national apprenticeship system. The association accomplishes this by providing a forum for states and territories that have their own state apprenticeship law that governs registered apprenticeship training programs within their respective jurisdictions. Since its inception, NASTAD has served its goal well in providing information, sharing ideas and providing support in problem solving to its members.
