These Institutes have proven to be excellent vehicles for human services training professionals to learn about the latest information, research, techniques, equipment, and materials used in the management and delivery of training and staff development.

NSDTA believes the opportunity to attend its Institutes should be shared with as many human services training professionals as possible, but it also recognizes that many agencies simply may not have the funds necessary to send staff. To that end, NSDTA has decided to offer the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend our annual Institute. These scholarships are being named for Joan Carrera, a pioneer in staff development and training from HHS, and a true friend, mentor, and inspiration to NSDTA.

NSDTA is pleased to offer the opportunity to recognize outstanding performance in the training and development field. Awards are open to any individual, agency, company, or program that provides training for public sector employees in the area of human services. 

NSDTA offers awards in the following categories:

• Quality Award for a Training Agency OR Training Program
• Distinguished Service in Training (Individual Only)
• Lifetime Achievement (Individual Only)

The National Staff Development and Training Association (NSDTA) represents training professionals working in public human services.  Each year, NSDTA sponsors a Professional Development Institute. 

The NSDTA Institute serves as a forum for the advancement of knowledge and skills of Training Services professionals from beginner to seasoned specialist. The goal of each presentation is to enhance the knowledge and skills of the adult learner. The desired result for each workshop is a participant enriched in knowledge, skills and attitude.

NSDTA invites presentations featuring areas of knowledge, skills and program development representing the wide range of services and programs provided by Training Services, Quality Assurance and Organizational Effectiveness professionals.
