Cristo Rey San José Work Study, Inc.
With the Work Study program, students go to work one day a week at a corporation in an office administration role. The program provides students with crucial hands-on, white-collar work experience, while simultaneously empowering them to assume an active role in financing a portion of their education. As a result of working in a business environment, students acquire valuable job experience and marketable skills, develop a network of business contacts, gain exposure to a wide range of career opportunities, refine a strong work ethic, and increase self-esteem.
