Trades Application Process

Thank you for your interest in seeking employment as a Trades worker with the Madison Metropolitan School District. Applications are accepted only when an open position is posted. Most positions require you to complete our application form as well as an experience inventory. All applicants are administered a proficiency exam; we will contact you to schedule your exam with the Wisconsin City and County Testing Service.

The top four to six candidates with the best combined test scores and experience/qualifications will be referred on to the department supervisor/principal for an interview. After your interview, we will check references, and the supervisor will inform you that you are recommended for hire or that you are no longer under consideration.

If you are hired, Human Resources will be notified and will send you a New Hire Packet with forms that must be completed before you start working. These forms include:

State (W-4) and Federal (W-T4) tax forms
Verification of Employment Eligibility
Candidate Disclosure Statement (so the District can conduct a criminal records check)

We will also authorize you to have a pre-employment physical performed at Concentra Medical Centers. When we receive all the required forms and the results of your physical, you will be able to begin working.

If you should have any questions regarding the screening and hiring process for Clerical/Technical employees, please contact Elaine Wirsbinski, Personnel Analyst, at (608) 663-1748.
