 My name is Madeline Erse, and I am the Human Resources Director with the Wisconsin Technical College System. I provide support and assistance for all of our employees here at the System Board, and then I also do some other interactions with all of our technical colleges, such as I help with OCR reviews, I help with the affirmative action plans that each college has in place, and I love working with all the people making sure that I am acting as a partner with them and really helping to make their colleges a better place for both their students and their employees. We have amazing employees here who really care about each student at each technical college. One of my favorite things about working here at the Wisconsin Technical College System is seeing all of our employees interact with students at the technical colleges. I've seen our employees be advocates for people with disabilities. I've seen our employees be advocates for working parents. I've even seen our employees be advocates for people that are homeless. That really means a lot to me because it shows how caring and compassionate our workforce is here and how much we truly do want to make a difference. The Wisconsin Technical College System is a great place to work because everyone truly has put so much passion and love into their work and being an advocate for the students is one of the most important things that is a mantra for us truly every day.
