Why It Works
Our Work-Study Job Partners help us develop the City of Philadelphia's future workforce.
Students receive a level of career exposure at their job sites that is unprecedented for teenagers across the region. Learning the skills to be a young professional during their high school years better prepares them to walk with confidence and grit when they leave Cristo Rey, go to college, and later pursue their careers.

Gain confidence, self-esteem and ambition
