This program has given me the ability to travel to various parts of the world and continues to show me every day the impact John Deere has on our dealers and customers. With so many different and ever-changing roles in Customer and Product Support, I have appreciated the opportunity to experience diverse roles while in the program that continue to help me grow as a professional and better understand myself in the process!" – Cory, Customer & Product Support Rep
"Upon graduating college, I wasn't sure what area of work I wanted to pursue. All I knew, is I wanted to work for a reputable agricultural company that invests in their people. That's why the Marketing and Customer Support Development Program at John Deere intrigued me so much. Within this program, I am able to learn about different parts of the company and meet new people, with exploring new parts of the country as an added bonus. I went from being a college student, to a tractor guru, to an instructor for dealers, to a project manager. These experiences have helped me learn the direction of my career. With so many different departments at Deere, there are endless opportunities to grow as I continue my career with the company." – Kalie, Marketing Rep
"Starting my career through the development program allowed me to learn about many areas of the business and different areas of opportunity within marketing and sales. This helped me decide what experiences I wanted to pursue in my career and map out a career path. Additionally, the program helped me stablish a network of not just coworkers, but friends." – Melissa, Marketing Rep Alumna
