Interested in a career at Wright Implement? If so, check out this event that they are hosting!

This event, Wright Implement Night, is on February 22nd and they have planned it to be a hands-on opportunity for students who may be interested in a career with the company to see what working as a service technician would consist of. Students will also have the opportunity to discuss aspects of the job and company with both traveling and localized service technicians. They also have plans for Vincennes University to discuss their Diesel Technology program (specific to John Deere equipment) with interested students.
