Student Technology Assistants Program (STAP) The Student Technology Assistants Program (STAP) is a work-based learning program that provides a resource to students who are interested in campus jobs in information technology. STAP also provides a source of qualified personnel to meet campus demands for part-time technology support staff. The STAP office is not the employer of the student. STAP serves as an agency to pre-screen, train, and assist with placement of students in campus units. Working directly with the various departments on campus, students will gain invaluable technological and professional development. Exposure to diverse working environments and situations assist in the development of team building, problem solving, customer service and time management skills.
