WHAT IS THE STUDENT CAREER EXPERIENCE PROGRAM?

The BLM’s Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) places college students in paid, career-track internship positions.

WHO?

Students enrolled in an accredited college, university, technical, or vocational school with at least a half-time course load.
Students in good academic standing, with a 2.5 grade point average or higher.
Students who will be U.S. citizens upon graduation from school.

WHAT?

Students work in the BLM positions that most closely match their academic majors, which vary from natural resources to information technology to recreation to law enforcement.

WHERE?

Students work in BLM offices throughout the nation, with an established support system of mentors and supervisors who guide them through the program.

WHEN?

Students and hiring offices arrange the work schedule that best meets the needs of both the student and the BLM. Most students work a full-time schedule during the summer months and attend classes during the school year.

WHY?

Students gain professional experience for a competitive salary.
Students are eligible to receive the same benefits as full-time Federal employees, including health insurance, life insurance, accrued and holiday leave.
Students may receive tuition and travel assistance packages, which vary by work site.
Students who successfully complete the program are eligible for non-competitive conversion into full-time employment with the BLM.
