Presentations during the event will delve into the scale and purpose of John Deere, including its mission to sustainably help feed and clothe a growing population. Attendees will also have the chance to hear firsthand from individuals who have successfully transitioned into technician roles after completing the Military Hiring Programme.

The programme is part of a global initiative to support servicemen and women as they transition into civilian careers. Those who apply will receive free training to prepare them for a career as a technician within the John Deere family. Allan highlighted the variety and fulfillment that comes with working on John Deere’s state-of-the-art agricultural and turf products, stating, “You could be working on a fully electric walk-behind golf greens mower or one of the world’s largest combine harvesters – there is huge variety and fulfillment in roles based all around the UK and Ireland.”
