Student Educational Employment Program
The Student Educational Employment Program (SEEP) has two components, the Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) and the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP). These programs are available to all levels of students: high school, vocational and technical, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, and professional degree students.
STEP Component
Job opportunities under this component offer temporary employment that can provide a valuable work experience. Employment can range from summer jobs to positions that can last as long as the students are in school (in one-year increments or less). The duties do not have to relate to your academic field of study. Students in this program may be eligible for conversion to SCEP positions.
SCEP Component
This component offers valuable work experience directly related to a students academic field of study. It provides formal periods of work and study while attending school. The program is designed to be a partnership between the student, school and the FLETC. The SCEP combines academic classroom learning with practical, on-the-job experience and provides paid work experience in the field of study. The SCEP may lead to permanent employment after successful completion of education and work requirements.
Program Features Under Both Components
- Students may be employed year round.
- Students may have flexible work schedules.
- Open to all students...high school, under-graduate, graduate, and vocational/technical.
