The Student Educational Employment 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 noncompetitively converted to regular, continuing civil service
employment following completion of their academic and work experience
requirements (must work at least 640 hours prior to conversion).
Students for both programs must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment
as degree (diploma, certificate, etc.) seeking student with at least a
half-time academic/vocational/or technical course load in an accredited
high school, technical, or vocational school, 2 year or 4 year college
or university, graduate or professional school. The definition of
half-time is the definition provided by the school in which the student
is enrolled. |

| The Nashville
District employs students in a wide variety of specialties with many in
the engineering and life science disciplines. Some positions exist in
contracting, accounting, clerical/administrative, and computer science.
We also have a few positions for students in blue collar occupations
such as machinist and maintenance. |

Some SCEP
employees may receive assistance with tuition costs. SCEP employees also
are eligible for health benefits programs, government retirement options
(including the opportunity to participate in the Thrift Savings Plan,
similar to a 401K and various life insurance options.
All students also receive at least 13 days of both sick (self and
family) and annual leave per year (if the student works full time; leave
is prorated for less than full time). Also, the Nashville District has
various options for flexible work schedules (see below). |
|
|
| Students may
work full-time or part-time schedules. There are no limitations on the
number of hours a student can work per week. Students can work, with
supervisory approval, either concurrently while attending school or on
alternating schedules between periods of school. |
