NEXT GEN WORKFORCE. Middle school and high school teachers play an important role in helping students connect with a career pathway. So what better way to get teachers excited about our John Deere equipment than to let them have fun in the Sandbox, too? Earlier this week, we gave Penn High School teachers a chance to move some dirt! Located in Mishawaka, IN, they are currently building a new fieldhouse and have a construction theme for the school year. A huge thanks to the West Side Tractor team for creating a memorable day at Penn. #careersinconstruction #workforce #community

A year ago, we were honored to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Mary and Richard Benck Family Agriculture Center at the Naper Settlement. This Center was a passion project for Mary and Rich (Founders of West Side Tractor ) with a goal of providing the community a place to share and learn the important role of farming in Illinois. While there is still more programming to come in the space, the vision is already very much alive! From summer camps to the Field Watchers program, and now a new weekly Farmer's Market with educational seminars happening the Ag Center, it really is a special place to visit. The Market is open Tuesdays from 3-7pm. We hope you make your way over there to enjoy it this summer! #westsidetractor #napersettlement #legacy #nextgen #agriculture Photo Cred: Naper Settlement

A WINNING FORMULA. The Gallagher Asphalt team, of Chicago, IL, has impressive accolades in its trophy case: The company is the only contractor in Illinois to be awarded three Diamond Commendations by the National Asphalt Pavement Association. An important way Gallagher Asphalt has gained a competitive edge is using the latest machines and technology from John Deere and the Wirtgen Group. West Side Tractor and Gallagher have enjoyed a partnership that spans generations. We appreciate the opportunity to support their incredible family business! #gearup #movingfamiliesforward #construction #familybusiness

This week I was able to thank another one of our amazing industry partners.

Thank you Dave and Beth for all your support this year!

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. Yesterday, we had a few special visitors to our WST Lisle, IL facility: Nancy Coleman, Executive Director of the Alignment Collaborative for Education in IL, and Terry Stroh, Director of CTE for Kane County! They joined WST Training and Development Manager Beth Bayless, SHRM-CP, PHR and our two high school interns, Vinny and Nathan, who are completing their 60-hour internship in Lisle this week. Vinny and Nathan were connected with WST through the Alignment Collaborative for Education. These experiences are great for high school students to explore career pathways! Vinny and Nathan spent time with many different department teams - parts, service / shop, technology, and even got some Deere training. Partnerships like this one that blend education and business are essential to building our next gen workforce. #education #cte #construction #internship #westsidetractor

Earlier this week, the West Side Tractor team had the opportunity to spend time with some of Indiana's Civil Construction Pathway teachers. These high school teachers are on the frontlines of getting students interested in our industry. Thanks for including us, Work IN Roads! #nextgenworkforce #construction
Last year's Civil Construction Pathway teachers are back in Indy for a second round of advanced Teacher Training! The morning started at, where teachers learned about John Deere dealership operations and career opportunities. After a BBQ lunch, the focus shifted to careers and safety at MacAllister Machinery Co., Inc.. The afternoon began with discussions on the variety of opportunities young people can find in the industry. Jim Wood, CHST, ASP, ICI safety and training director, discussed the importance of trench safety and other crucial safety measures with the teachers, giving them information to return to the class. Teachers then hit the sandbox with experienced industry professionals to get hands-on with trench safety. The day ended with a dinner at Harry & Izzy's, hosted by Rieth-Riley Construction Co., Inc., where teachers reconnected with industry leaders. Thank you to all the companies involved for supporting our teachers and enhancing their knowledge. #WorkInroads
