John Deere announces online careers event targeted at military service leavers
Abstract
John Deere is calling on former and soon-to-be ex-servicemen and women to consider joining its dealership network as Qualified Technicians. With many transferrable skills, those with experience of military machines will be perfectly placed for a new career working with some of the world's most advanced agricultural and turfcare equipment. The machinery manufacturer has announced that it will hold a free online careers event on 1 September 2022, where attendees will hear from individuals who have transitioned from military service into the John Deere dealership network. Although he didn't get the first job he originally applied for at John Deere, it did make him more determined to pursue a career within the agricultural engineering sector and focus his attention on how to best achieve his goals. "I decided to own that dream, put a professional spin on it and see if I could turn it into my next full career." To gain experience, William volunteered his time at one of John Deere's dealerships and secured a job at another, before finally landing his ultimate job as an Agricultural Engineer at Ben Burgess in Oakham, Rutland. "It's an incredibly exciting time to work in the agricultural industry," says John Deere Branch Training Manager Allan Cochran. "The machinery we're working with is mind-blowingly clever and John Deere agricultural and turf technicians learn about the most advanced, cutting-edge equipment available on the market."It's a great, rewarding career that can take you anywhere in the world, working with an internationally recognised and respected brand.
