Corporate Work Study Program
Cristo Rey Boston High School
Through corporate partners, students are provided needed entry level positions for five full days per month – doing work that others do not have time for. Cristo Rey assumes all responsibility for payroll, workers comp, taxes, insurance, and transportation to and from jobs. Cristo Rey trains and coaches the student workers and a staff of five supports the placements in over 140 corporate partners. Corporate partners pay a fee to the school for students’ work. Partners provide the opportunity and work readiness skills. With a focus on academics, work study employment covers 60% of the cost of education at a college prep school. Work experience helps students learn about the corporate world and has resulted in a 100% four-year college placement rate.
