Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will gain hands-on experience in the workshop, working alongside qualified technicians and gradually taking on more responsibility as your skills and confidence develop.
The programme combines depot-based learning with block release training at one of the John Deere specialist training centres, giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a real working environment while developing a thorough understanding of John Deere products, systems and standards.
Learners will receive specialist training in diagnostics, precision technologies, machine optimisation and advanced repair techniques, supported by experienced mentors throughout their development. Successful completion leads to a nationally recognised Level 3 Diploma in Land-Based Engineering and recognition as a John Deere Certified Technician.
