Inscription. One Man's Dream In 1973 Joe Martin, Jr. decided to make his dream of training individuals for industry a reality. Recognizing a need for qualified instrumentation technicians, he began to build what has evolved today into ITI Technical College. With a humble beginning, Joe Martin was not only the founder, administrator, and only instructor but also the person responsible for admissions and job placement. He started with twelve students in a 5,000 square foot facility.

Mr. Martin's leadership, dedication, and Christian work ethic enabled ITI to grow to the success it is today - an advanced educational resource that supplies qualified professionals for business and industry worldwide. His original vision, giving students a skill that will last a lifetime, continues to live on in the success of ITI graduates today, as they attain "a better life."

Erected by ITI Technical College.
