Student Educational Employment Program (SEEP)

The Student Educational Employment Program offers two types of employment, temporary and permanent (career).  Student employment is available to all levels of students: high school, vocational and technical, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, and professional degree students.

Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP)

Job opportunities under this program 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 STEP program does not offer health, life insurance, or retirement benefits, but it does offer vacation and sick time, and paid holidays. These positions may be advertised through the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) web site at www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/afjobs or you may contact the local Civilian Personnel Flight, at the base where seeking employment, for information and applicant procedures.

Student Career Experience Program (SCEP)

This program 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 school. It requires a commitment by you, your school, and the employing Federal agency. You may be eligible for permanent employment under this component after successfully completing your education and meeting work requirements.  The SCEP program offers health, life, retirement benefits, vacation and sick time, and paid holidays.

Students interested in potential permanent positions through SCEP should contact the local Civilian Personnel Flight, at the base where seeking employment, for information and applicant procedures.
