Meet the Team Monday!

Since it’s Monday… we’re switching things up a little and introducing Michele — the person usually behind the posts! 😄

Michele joined Titan Industries almost a year ago, bringing almost 25 years of experience in the construction industry with her. As our Office Administrator, she wears a lot of hats—working closely with our project managers to keep project billings accurate and on track, overseeing all HR functions, coordinating team events and training, and helping with Titan’s marketing and communications.

A few fun facts about Michele 👇🏻

👩‍💻 Position: Office Administrator
⏳ Years with Titan: Almost 1 year already… time sure flies!

❤️ What she loves most about her job:
The people and the variety of the work! As she approaches her 1-year anniversary, she’s incredibly thankful for how the Titan team welcomed her from day one and made her feel like part of the family right away. And, with the variety of things she works on every day, there’s never a dull moment!

💻 Favorite project so far:
Implementing Titan’s new HRIS platform. It’s been a great opportunity to bring in tools that help streamline processes and better support our team members.

🌮🍕 If she could eat one food forever:
That's a tough one...Mexican Food or Pizza!

🦸‍♀️ Superpower of choice:
Time travel — to go back and spend more time with loved ones.

🕵️‍♀️ Hidden talent:
Locating items that have been “missing” and invisible to the rest of her family for three days. 😜

Not every successful path requires a 4-year degree and it's time we normalize that conversation with the younger generation.

Trade schools offer incredible opportunities that lead to high-paying, in-demand careers without the burden of massive student loan debt. Welders, electricians, mechanics, lineman, machinists, HVAC techs, carpenters, laborers, operators - these careers keep our communities running every single day. They build, fix, power, and protect the world around us and that's honorable work. That's skilled work. That's essential work.

Trade programs often take 1-2 years instead of 4+, allowing students to enter the workforce sooner, gain hands-on experience, and start earning income faster. Many skilled trades offer strong job security, competitive wages, benefits, and even opportunities to own a business!

Encourage your student(s) to research their high school CTE programs now. Many local high schools offer hands-on training, certifications, internships, and real-world experience that can help jumpstart a career before graduation.

We need to teach our kids that success isn't one size fits all. A career in the trades deserves just as much respect as a traditional college degree. It requires intelligence, technical training, problem-solving skills, and dedication.

Let's raise a generation that values skill, hard work, and purpose regardless of the location: a classroom, shop/warehouse, hospital, or jobsite.

Every path that leads to honest work and fulfillment is a path worth celebrating!

Start the conversations with your student(s) now!
