The Corps’ Transatlantic Programs Center, a 350-member team, accomplishes a critical role in meeting our nation’s engineering needs abroad. Headquartered in Winchester, Virginia, the Center has several field offices throughout the Arabian Gulf region. The organization designs and builds facilities for deployed U.S. forces, other U.S. government agencies, and friendly foreign defense agencies in the Middle East, Africa, and other areas as needed. The work runs the gamut from design and construction of air, land, and sea bases, to providing technical assistance for small projects that meet basic humanitarian needs. Transatlantic Programs Center personnel also work closely with Corps of Engineers offices in Iraq and Afghanistan. These missions provide facilities for our troops as well as aid the Iraq and Afghan populations in their reconstruction efforts. The Transatlantic Programs Center has a diverse workforce made up of 10 nationalities of highly skilled engineers, other professionals, and support staff. Employees participate in teams, for activities ranging from managing a multi-million program to carrying out a one-time, specific action. Many of our team members have received recognition for the excellence of their work. Entry-level or developmental programs are available for those new to the federal government. An internship is a full-time, entry-level, permanent position that generally lasts for two years and includes on-the-job training and specific training courses. Each intern position specifies the qualifications required, including education and experience. Internships may be in the fields of engineering, architecture, contracting, information technology, auditing, accounting, and other areas. Engineering and architecture interns usually spend three months at one of our overseas locations. At the conclusion of the internship, the intern is placed in a permanent position within the Transatlantic Programs Center or the Department of Army, commensurate with his or her training and experience. The Center also has developmental positions that have formal training plans and duty assignments to meet progressive responsibilities. Available jobs may include legal assistants, engineering technicians, program analysts, and management analysts. Periodically, the Transatlantic Programs Center restructures positions to create upward mobility opportunities. These positions are restructured to the entry or intermediate grade level with a final target grade. In addition, the Center periodically has positions open for students. Student Educational Employment Program (SEEP) The Student Education Employment Program is a flexible program that serves as a critical tool to assist agencies in attracting and recruiting students to meet employment needs. The program consists of two components: Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). These programs are available to students pursuing any of the following educational programs:
Students participating in the Harry S. Truman Foundation Scholarship Program under the provision of Public Law 93-842 are eligible for appointments under the Student Career Experience Program. The Programs are year-round programs and appointments may be made at any time during the year, including summer. Students may work full-time or part-time schedules. There are no limitations on the number of hours a student can work per week, but it should not interfere with the academic schedule. Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) Job opportunities under this component offer students temporary employment. Employment can range from summer jobs to positions that can last for as long as you are a student. These employment opportunities need not necessarily be related to your academic field of study. Students may not be retained beyond graduation (May or December). Necessary steps must be taken to make a NEW appointment, if the student is to be retained. Students may be converted to the Student Career Experience Program when requirements of that program are met and an appropriate position is available. Eligibility requirements
