Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP)--This program allows an agency to hrie qualified students non-competitively for temporary work assignments. Work may be either full-time or part-time depending on the needs of the agency and the student's availability. STEP allows a student to gain valuable experience in resource-related field work, but provides maximum flexibility to both students and managers because the nature of the work assignments does not have to be directly related to the student's academic or career goals, and there is no obligation on either the student's or the agency's part for permanent employment. Hiring opportunities under the STEP program vary from year to year. To find out if there are any current STEP openings in Washignton State, please contact Human Resources in the Spokane State Office, (509)323-2934. Read more.
