   The Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) is used to hire most summer 
students and requires no formal competition.  Qualifying students can also be 
hired directly into the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP), which can be 
used as a co-op hiring program for students whose long-term goals match 
organization hiring needs.  Hiring managers within each advertizing office are 
responsible for screening candidates and coordinating selections with their 
respective Shared Service Centers.  To qualify, students must be 1) enrolled in 
an accredited high school, college, university, or technical or vocational 
school; 2) in good academic standing with at least a GPA of “C” or its 
equivalent; 3) at least age 16; and 4) a United States Citizen.

   Given the high response rate we typically receive from interested students 
and the limited number of EPA jobs available, we do not recommend that students 
be required to submit their transcripts upfront, although many do so on their 
own.  If it is pertinent to the position, hiring managers may request 
applicants to provide a list of relevant coursework.  The website does indicate 
that transcripts will be required before hiring.
>
    Please be aware that veterans who apply for summer employment should be 
afforded preference as far as administratively possible.  Thus, when you 
receive applications from qualified veterans, they should be referred to 
managers and considered ahead of other qualified candidates for the same 
position.  Because these summer opportunities are excepted service positions, 
they are not subject to specific application of the veterans’ preference 
scoring procedure.   If you receive applications indicating veterans’ 
preference, you should work with your SSC contact to ensure receipt of proper 
documentation of veterans’ status.

    Finally, Office of Personnel Management regulations state that students may 
work in the same agency with a relative when there is no direct reporting 
relationship and the relative is not in a position to influence or control the 
student’s appointment, employment or advancement within the agency.  EPA Order 
3110.1, Employment of Relatives also states that employees who are relatives 
cannot be assigned to work for the same first-line supervisor.  Please be sure 
that managers, supervisors and other employees, as appropriate, are aware of 
these requirements.

    Please share this e-mail message and make sure that managers and 
supervisors within your organization are apprised of the requirements 
associated with EPA’s Student Summer Employment Program.  If you have any 
questions about the program or the summer hiring website, you may contact JoAnn 
Brant at (202) 564-0375 (brant.joann@xxxxxxx<mailto:brant.joann%40epa.gov>).
