PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) provides high-potential college students valuable work experience in their chosen field of study as well as full-time employment opportunities upon graduation. Most students are placed directly in NRCS field offices and work side by side with the professional staff. Combining paid employment with formal education periods, SCEP provides unique opportunities for both the student and the employer.

Your college cooperative education office and employing office will work with you to develop a work schedule that will complement your academic requirements. Work periods may be served with full- or part-time schedules, or a combination of both. You must carry at least a half-time academic course load, as defined by the college.

LOCATIONS

The NRCS has locations on the Islands of Kauai, Molokai, Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Saipan, Pohnpei, and Palau.
