Student Temporary Employment

These employment opportunities are temporary, ranging from summer jobs to positions that last as long as you are a student, and don’t necessarily need to be related to your field of study.

Student Career Experience

Through this track, you gain valuable work experience directly related to your field of study. Participation involves formal periods of work and study while you’re attending school, and requires a commitment by you, your school and the employing federal agency. After successfully completing your education and meeting your work requirements, you may be eligible for permanent employment in your role.

Eligibility Requirements

*Must verify eligibility with Financial aid Office and Payroll Office Prior to Beginning Work.

You are eligible for the Student Educational Employment program if you are:

  • Taking at least a half-time academic, two-year or four-year college or university, or graduate or professional school.
  • A U.S. citizen or a national (resident of American Samoa or Swains Island).
