(ROSENBERG, Texas) – Representatives from La Porte-based Titan Quality Power Services visited with some Texas State Technical College Electrical Power and Controls students during an employer spotlight at TSTC’s Fort Bend County campus on Dec. 6.
The students are nearing their final semester of the program.
The representatives highlighted the benefits of working at their company, covering topics such as pay, schedules, day-to-day activities, and workload. The students asked questions throughout the presentation and talked with the representatives one-on-one afterward. The representatives also toured the classrooms and saw the equipment available to students in the Electrical Power and Controls program.
Peter Tucker, a technician for Titan Quality Power Services, said the company is one of the best places he has ever worked.
“We are relatively small,” Tucker said. “We are a tight-knit group, and we have a great culture here.”
Tom DeMarco, the South Texas regional branch manager at Titan Quality Power Services, said one of the biggest focuses of the company is quality. Employees’ main job at the company is to put together pieces of transformers, wire everything up, and test to make sure everything is working properly.
“We are concerned about quality,” he said. “We aren’t trying to do a sloppy job. We want to give our customers the best.”
Connecting that drive for quality to the students, DeMarco said TSTC was where he had done a lot of hiring in the past and TSTC graduates are some of the best educated and most qualified to enter the workforce.
“I can’t imagine any of you struggling to find jobs when you graduate from here,” DeMarco told the students. “We, for one, are really looking for people. We can’t hire fast enough.”
TSTC offers an Associate of Applied Science degree in Electrical Power and Controls at its Abilene, Fort Bend County, North Texas and Waco campuses.
The program is part of TSTC’s Money-Back Guarantee, which refunds a participating graduate’s tuition if he or she has not found a job in their field within six months of graduation. For more information, visit tstc.edu/mbg.
