The Service employs many students in various career and educational fields. The Student employment program is a way to attract talented students to work with the Service and it's an opportunity for students to continue their education and apply their academic studies to on-the-job experience.
The Service has two Major Student Programs; student temporary employment and student career experience program, which are available to all levels of students.
The Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) was designed to introduce talented students to the advantages and challenges of working for the Federal Government; to provide opportunities for students to combine academic study with on-the-job work experience; and to provide opportunities for students to earn money while continuing their education. This program includes positions in all occupational groups within the Service. Job opportunities under this component offer you 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.
The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) was established to recruit high quality employees into the Federal Service, to support equal employment opportunity objectives, to provide exposure to public service, and to promote education. This program includes positions in all occupational groups within the Service. This component offers you valuable work experience directly related to your academic field of study. It provides formal periods of work and study while you are attending Service. You may be eligible for permanent employment under this component after successfully completing your education and meeting work requirements.
Students interested in employment should contact a Fish and Wildlife Office, in your local area (http://www.fws.gov/jobs/HROs.pdf)). Students interested in research or grant opportunities should visit the Federal grants website. (www.grants.gov)
