On the 13th of June, John Deere will invite servicemen and women to its UK headquarters in Nottinghamshire for an event designed to highlight technician roles within the brand’s dealer network.
The John Deere Military Hiring Programme Insight Day will enable visitors to see some of the agricultural and turfcare equipment which requires skilled technicians to maintain.
Those in attendance will be able to network with representatives from across John Deere, as well as dealers, and presentations will set out the opportunities available.
Allan Cochran, training centre manager, said: “We launched the John Deere Military Hiring Programme in the UK and Ireland last year and are starting to see those who have been through the training start new careers at our dealers.
“We strongly believe in the pool of talent resettling from successful careers in the military. We have thousands of examples worldwide demonstrating that they have the ideal skillset to slot seamlessly into technician roles.
“There’s nothing like seeing the machinery up close and speaking directly to those who already work in the businesses to get a sense of what your future career could look like, so this day is a great opportunity to explore the people, the place and the product.”
The Military Hiring Programme is a worldwide initiative to support resettling servicemen and women. Applicants are connected to an individual within John Deere who has moved from the military to the company’s service network.
