Federal
Student Educational Employment
Program |
The MMS
Pacific Region continually strives to increase diversity in our
workforce by providing leadership and career opportunities to
qualified ethnically diverse and disabled students through
the federal Student Educational Employment Program.
This
new, streamlined program is comprised of two components: the Student
Temporary Employment Program (STEP), and the Student Career Experience
Program (SCEP).
-
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.
-
The
SCEP, however, provides work experience which is directly related to
the student's academic program and career goals. 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 Educational Employment Program benefits both agencies and
students. Agencies can discover first-hand the abilities of a
potential employee. In the case of SCEP, agencies can bring well
educated graduates into their workforce while at the same time give
their managers the ability to evaluate the student's performance in
real work situations. Students, on the other hand, can avail
themselves of 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.

The four main objectives
of the student employment programs are:
-
to merge academic study
with practical application for students majoring in relevant fields
and related disciplines;
-
to create a consort of
talented students to explore and understand professional practices
through exposure to research and development, technology,
administration and the government environment;
-
to provide professional
experience for ethnically diverse students and students with
disabilities that will enable them to make educated and informed
career choices; and
-
to create a pool of future
employees who have had positive, meaningful work experience with the
federal government, and who might consider federal service as a
serious career choice.
