There are a couple of packages that provide this for you. nameref is distributed as part of hyperref to do this:

There is a more general package for cross-referencing basically anything, called zref: http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=zref

It's by the same author as hyperref, Heiko Oberdiek; it's the one that I would choose. Here's an example:

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[user,titleref]{zref}
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction of sorts.}\zlabel{sec:intro}
Hello
\subsection{Structure}
We begin in `\ztitleref{sec:intro}'.
\end{document}

Note that it even removes the trailing period in the section title.
