“The Work Study Program (WSP) provides students of the Jesuit Cristo Rey High School of Houston (dba Cristo Rey Jesuit College Preparatory School) valuable employment training and on-the-job experience in addition to enabling the students to defray part of the cost of their education. The WSP and the School operate together as a coordinated program, which combines personal responsibility, academic rigor, and a corporate work-study program to empower students of all faiths from economically challenged families to reach their full potential. All students of the School are required to participate in the work-study program. The WSP trains the students during a Summer Training Initiative where they teach the students hard and soft workplace skills. The WSP is in constant contact with sponsors to ensure the success of the students. The WSP also included a remote work-study program for corporate remote working environments and the School provided additional workplace skills for those not directly placed at on-site corporate work-study sites. During FYE 6/30/21, the WSP had approximately 93 paying sponsors.”

“The Cristo Rey Work Study Program processes payroll for the students participating in the work study program through a separate payroll entity.”
