The annual NAISTD conference is a gathering of industry specific job training individuals from each state. Representatives include those from State Commerce Departments, State Community College Systems, State Workforce Development Programs, etc. During the conference, members are given a 20-minute time slot to present state program highlights, successes, and challenges from the previous fiscal year. This conference affords time for networking between state members, and the opportunity to recognize different job training approaches and programs. Conference speakers will offer new ideas, and attendees will be challenged to continue their dedication to job training and assisting their states to educate and grow their workforce base.
