John Deere Communities

A strong portfolio of interrelated businesses, coupled with the core values of integrity, quality, commitment, and innovation, makes Deere & Company one of the world's most admired businesses today. John Deere is a global leader in agricultural, turf, forestry, and construction equipment for customers whose work and livelihood are rooted in the land.

The John Deere Inspire initiative is funding the A World in Motion^® program in several John Deere communities throughout the U.S., with a plan to expand the initiative worldwide in the future.

Objective

John Deere Inspire is a global initiative that is designed to inspire the next generation of innovators through education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), coupled with connections and hands-on experiences with the real world.

John Deere's ultimate objective with this initiative is to significantly increase the number of high-quality students, including underrepresented talent, who enroll, graduate and are successfully working in STEM-related professions, and consider John Deere an employer of choice.
