- STEP Student Temporary Employment Program, another name for a temporary internship with a federal agency, is a great way for students to be exposed to the government. STEP positions are paid and can range from a summer job to a position that lasts as long as the student is in school. It is not necessary for the work to be related to the student’s academic major, which allows the student to gain experience in a variety of fields. Students enrolled in high school, a two-year or four-year college or university, a technical or vocational school, or a graduate program are eligible to apply. The program requires that the student be a U.S. citizen.
- SCEP Student Career Experience Program, SCEP positions, which are for undergraduate and graduate students, are substantive internships in federal agencies. The work must be related to the student’s area of study and requires the agency to have a formal commitment with the student’s institution. Most positions are paid, and the student may also receive academic credit. If the student successfully completes 640 hours of work, he or she can be appointed to a permanent position without going through the traditional hiring process. This program requires its students to be U.S. citizens.
- FCIP Federal Career Intern Program, FCIP is designed to help agencies attract top undergraduate and graduate students to a variety of entry-level paid positions. These are two-year, full-time commitments, and not short-term internships. They involve various development and training programs, often grouping new FCIPs into a cohort. Upon successful completion of the program, participants may be eligible for permanent placement within an agency. Individuals interested in career intern opportunities should contact the specific agency directly. Agencies control their own FCIP hiring process and may restrict the selection pool to certain schools.
