National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors

The National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors (NASTAD) coordinates the 33 state and territorial agencies that form the backbone of the U.S. Registered Apprenticeship system — connecting government, employers, and workforce partners to build and maintain high-quality programs. Founded in 1950, NASTAD is the only organization that brings together the leaders of every State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) in the country.
