Per Diem Information CATA-CAAD Athletic Trainer Clearinghouse Procedures Background & Rationale The Connecticut Athletic Trainers' Association (CATA) and its officers have been consistently approached by external entities seeking referral to licensed Athletic Trainers (ATs) for per diem work. The Connecticut Association of Athletic Directors (CAAD) approached the CATA about collaborative effort to provide a resource for Secondary School Athletic Directors seeking to identify and hire licensed Athletic Trainers for per diem athletic training services. The CATA has agreed to this collaboration for the following reasons:
