The mission of Associates for Training and Development (A4TD) is to assist mature workers to become the best-qualified candidate for jobs consistent with their interests and abilities. As a complement to that mission, A4TD works with employers and community organizations to develop and increase the range of employment opportunities available to mature workers. As an integral part of this mission, A4TD recognizes the importance of coordinating its services with those of other organizations.
