The Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP)

We don’t just connect with your company or organization; we partner and build relationships.  We work with you to match students with their best fit so they can reach achievable goals for your organization.  To prepare each student for the work-study program, CRSM hosts workplace readiness training. We teach foundational skills that are transferable to any career and monitor and work closely with you and the student on an ongoing basis through a dedicated CWSP staff member and your supervisor.  Students come prepared for work with a clear understanding of the criteria by which they will be evaluated for performance. This helps guarantee success and productivity for both the students and the departments in which they work.    

 The Corporate Work Study Program is a separately incorporated non-profit and functions like an employment agency. Your company pays a competitive fee for the services provided. It is a business expense, not a donation. Student earnings are applied directly to their education. The money earned covers the cost of tuition not covered by traditional fundraising and family tuition payments, making a college preparatory education possible for those who otherwise could not afford it. Cristo Rey manages all job-related paperwork and employment expenses including payroll taxes, worker’s comp, liability insurance and benefits. This allows students and our business partners to focus on work, relationships and impact.
