When you are part of the Job Rotation Program, you'll do important work that has campus-wide impact, and you'll be supported in achieving your career goals.

Our Job Rotation Program participants experience four 6-month rotations in IT positions over two years to provide broad exposure in different facets of information technology across campus. Join our program in this world-renowned university where every employee contributes to the Wisconsin Idea, located in one of the most livable cities in America!

Program Highlights:

• Participation within a cohort in on-going professional development and in building an inclusive environment
• Diverse assignments and responsibilities across business units and organizational functions
• Eligibility and support in transitioning to a post-program role on campus including participation in our Alumni Network

Rotational experiences consider individual interests and are designed and tailored by the program to meet university priorities. Employees are hired and onboarded as a cohort to provide a community experience with a focus on shared learning and contributing to the development of the program overall. All three tracks of the program - Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology, prepare rotators to be well-equipped to transition to permanent roles on campus at the end of the program.

• A wide network of colleagues to appreciate the interrelatedness of roles and operations across campus
• Greater involvement and ownership in your professional development
• The ability to develop and grow in your role and pursue a career path that honors your values and interests

Prioritizing the employee experience cultivates a resilient and engaging culture within the Job Rotation Program and across the work environments you will be immersed in. Encouraging a diverse and inclusive organization is core to our values, that's why we nurture it in everything we do. We truly believe that by collaborating with people with different experiences, we drive innovation and allow employees to thrive for our successful future growth.
