The main purpose of this site is to provide you with basic information about these matters within Wisconsin State Civil Service.

This handbook is organized to show some ways you can advance by transfers, promotions, and reclassifications within a particular job family. Another way of advancing is to change fields of work.

One of our reasons for putting this information together is to help members of those groups, though we hope it helps all classified employees. In some cases, the career ladder shows jobs beyond those available on this campus. This information is based in part on a career ladder booklet prepared by the Affirmative Action Office on the Madison campus.
