Jack Martin, Founder

 My career started by working on an automotive assembly line and in the evenings attended a draftsman certification training program.  When the program was completed, I was selected to work as a detail draftsman.  I left the automotive industry to attend college.  After graduating from college, I taught high school and  became a high school counselor.  I worked for the state of Michigan as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. I was then hired by the Industrial Mutual Association where I administered apprenticeship selection tests for Flint area automotive factories.  Later, I became vice president of a private business college that consulted with business and industry across the nation. 

Jack Martin & Associates originated in 1989 as the sales arm for “Pre-Apprentice Training” a company dedicated to preparing men and women for entry into registered apprenticeship programs.  Jack Martin & Associates publishes four books that are used to help prepare apprenticeship applicants to succeed in various apprenticeship programs.  The first book was written in 1966 and is still in use today.  All four books were written at the request of employers who desired to improve the skill levels required for entry into apprenticeship programs.  The books are currently in use in high schools, community colleges, company and union training programs and are purchased by individuals for self study.

I recently retired, but still serve Jack Martin & Associates as an advisor.
