AIDT ISO CERTIFICATION

AIDT was the first state workforce training organization in the United States to earn international certification for its quality management system.  SRI Quality System Registrar auditors certified AIDT’s conformity to requirements for the design, development and execution of pre-employment program training and on-the-job training; workforce training programs, both skilled and non-skilled; training incentives for new business locations and for existing growth businesses and citizens they employ as specified in ISO 9001:2015 standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
