At MAST, we believe in the power of partnership. From building a thriving workforce to fostering world-class innovation, our mission is only possible through the support of visionary organizations. We honor the sponsors and donors shaping the future of industrial talent in Virginia and beyond.

Allfirst is a leading industrial and maintenance contractor serving critical infrastructure sectors throughout Virginia. As a founding sponsor, Allfirst has provided not only financial support, but also strategic insight into the needs of industrial employers and partners. Their commitment to safety, technical excellence, and workforce development makes them an ideal MAST partner.

MAST is grateful to receive support from The Suffolk Foundation, helping us expand opportunities for students pursuing careers in the skilled trades. This generous contribution reflects the Foundation’s commitment to education, workforce development, and building a stronger future for the Suffolk community.

MAST is proud to receive key financial support from the Virginia Workforce Council, whose mission to connect employers, educators, and talent directly aligns with our purpose. Their support has enabled MAST to fund pilot programs, engage with education partners, and lay the groundwork for a scalable industrial and maritime innovation ecosystem.
The Hampton Roads Regional Apprenticeship Hub was established using a $6 million Apprenticeship Building America Grant awarded by the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration.
