John Deere Technology |
 The John Deere Tech program is an educational experience designed to upgrade the technical competence and professional skills of incoming John Deere employees and enhance the skills of existing John Deere personnel. The program consists of classroom lecture and laboratory experiences on actual John Deere products and includes a unique paid cooperative work experience for students at a John Deere dealership. The curriculum was designed in partnership with the John Deere Corporation and is maintained with input from an advisory committee of local and regional dealership employees and John Deere personnel. |
| Training the workforce to success in industry, is a journey not a destination.
Goals:
- Implement competency-based education, skill standards, and program certification.
- Create and maintain a marketing plan related to student recruitment.
- Update facilities with consideration for function and appearance.
|
| Students may earn an Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree in John Deere Technology upon completion of the two-year program of study. |
| Students can enter this program during the fall or winter quarters of every even numbered year. Since considerable time is spent at the dealership, the program requires the student to have a sponsoring dealer. The main responsibility of the dealership is to provide training-related employment for the student during work experience quarters. If necessary, students can request assistance in locating a sponsoring dealer. A placement test and a mechanical reasoning test offered by the Student Development Center must be completed prior to admittance to the program. |
