John Deere Construction & Forestry Specialization
We can jump-start your career! The John Deere Construction & Forestry Technician (C & F Tech) program is a collaboration between John Deere, RDO Equipment Co., Nortrax, and Minnesota State Community & Technical College (M State) to train future John Deere qualified service technicians.
The first year of this dynamic two-year program will be spent in classes designed to teach the operational concepts of diesel engines, power trains, brakes, electrical and hydraulic systems, and shop procedures and safety. The second year training coursework was designed by John Deere and concentrates on the specific John Deere product line, as well as engine tune-up and troubleshooting, crawler undercarriages, hydrostatic transmissions and failure analysis.
Along with technical expertise, students entering the John Deere partnership program should be eager to partner with John Deere customers to provide long-term service and support. Therefore another component of the John Deere C & F Tech program is the supervised occupational work experiences students perform at sponsoring John Deere dealerships. This 7-8 week opportunity provides invaluable on-the-job work experience.
Sponsorship: RDO Equipment Co. and Nortrax are the John Deere construction & forestry equipment dealers in ND, SD, MT, WI & MN.
