The Association for Talent Development (ATD), formerly American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), is a non-profit association serving those who develop talent in the workplace . ATD has an international as well as US membership base (more than 120 countries; 100 U.S. chapters; 18 international strategic partners and global networks). The association's members work in every industry and sector. ATD has a competency model as a guide for its professional constituency. The original model was published in 2004 and has been updated several times since. The current model, published in 2013, includes two tiers: foundational competencies, and areas of expertise (instructional design, performance improvement, training delivery, learning technologies, evaluating learning impact, change management, managing learning programs, integrated talent management, coaching, and knowledge management), and is a frame of reference for career growth and professional development. This model is a basis for ATD's Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) and Associate in Talent Development credentials offered by the ATD Certification Institute.
