The company was renamed Industrial Training International in 1995 due to the diversified courses the company developed into cranes, load handling, and inspection domains.

Mr. Parnell achieved the status of Eagle Scout by the early age of 14. His determination and desire to help others has provided him the opportunity to help thousands of organizations with their training needs.
