Corporate Work Study Program A National Success Story Now in Cincinnati
As a business leader, you know numbers; measurable results drive your success. So study the number of children born into poverty who complete high school and college, and the results are far from encouraging. A bright spot among the grim statistics is the success of the national Cristo Rey education model replicated at Cincinnati’s DePaul Cristo Rey High School. Through our Corporate Work Study Program, Greater Cincinnati businesses have joined us to improve education outcomes, create opportunities for at-risk students, and ultimately shape the future of our region.

How the Corporate Work Study Program Works: • Four students share a full-time position during standard business hours, Monday – Friday. • CWSP is the students’ employer, handling all payroll, taxes, Workers’ Compensation and other employment requirements. • Students are required to participate in a summer training program which develops their technical and interpersonal skills.
What Students do at work: Data entry Document Scanning Copying Filing Records Management Assembling Meeting Materials and Mailings Patient Transport Reception/Phone Coverage
• Students’ academic schedules are structured so no classes are missed while they’re working.
“It has been a true pleasure to have Josue work in our office. He has a great work ethic and strives to stay busy. No task was too big or too small, and he was always willing to learn.” CWSP Supervisor at Burke & Schindler
