About Student Educational Employment Program opportunities

The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) provides work experience which is directly related to the student's academic program and career goals. This program allows managers the ability to evaluate the student's performance in real work situations. Students will have such flexibilities as year round employment and flexible work schedules and assignments. Students in the SCEP gain exposure to public service while enhancing their educational goals and shaping their career choices. Students in the SCEP may be non-competitively converted to term, career or career-conditional appointments following completion of their academic and work experience requirements.

The Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) provides Federal employment opportunities to students who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment as degree seeking students taking at least a half-time academic, technical, or vocational course load in an accredited high school, technical, vocational, 2 or 4 year college or university, graduate or professional school. The STEP provides maximum flexibility to both students and managers because the nature of the work does not have to be related to the student's academic or career goals which benefits both agencies and students. Agencies can discover first-hand the abilities of a potential employee.
