John Deere Financial visited Johnston High School this week to talk about their registered apprenticeship program in customer service. JHS seniors Owen Tallman and Damian Axtell, who started their apprenticeships this past summer, shared their experience and encouraged students to apply. The apprenticeship is a new pilot program at John Deere Financial. It is a paid apprenticeship in partnership with JHS. Owen and Damian are both interested in finance — Damian plans to study accounting and become a CPA, while Owen plans to study economics. The apprenticeship will help get their foot in the door. The two Johnston students are among six who started in customer service, working with farmers and construction workers on revolving plan accounts and setting up payments for materials such as seeds and chemicals. Should they continue working there, they could qualify for tuition assistance.
