Guiding a high school teen through their choices for life after high school can be challenging. This decision will possibly make the biggest impact on their life. It is important for all options to be considered thoroughly and to recognize the strengths your child possesses. 

College seems like the obvious choice for many teens and parents, but skilled labor is a genuine career choice that many seem to leave off the table despite the fact there is a high demand for skilled workers. 

At Greenway, we have this same strong demand for skilled individuals ready to join our team as John Deere Technicians and we have a program that may be of interest to you. 

For more than 25 years now, Greenway has partnered with John Deere Company to offer high school seniors the opportunity to attend the John Deere Ag Tech program at ASU – Beebe or Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia. 

In this program, they are trained on today’s high-tech John Deere equipment and cutting-edge technology. They will graduate with the technical skills to successfully start a career in agriculture as a Greenway Technician. 

With Greenway as a program sponsor, the student will earn their Associates Degree in two years and will have paid full-time Internships during the summer where they can apply what they learn in the classroom. Additionally, they can work part-time with Greenway as their schedule allows during the school year! 

Upon graduation, the student will transition into a full-time Technician position at a Greenway location close to their home. Starting annual earnings range from $35 – $40,000! They are guaranteed 100% job placement immediately after stepping off the stage! 

Furthermore, unlike traditional student loans that graduates must repay, Greenway will pay off their entire education costs if they work for the company continuously for 5 years. 

Greenway will be hosting a Virtual Ag Tech Seminar on April 23, 2020 at 6:00 pm. The seminar will be presented by Greenway Leadership, AG Tech Graduates, and even current students in the program. They will be sharing details about the program along with their experience working with John Deere and Greenway! 

There is no cost to attend the seminar. Click here to learn more:
