How it Works

CWSP LOGISTICS
CTK Corporate Work Study manages all aspects of the program, specifically CTK CWSP:
  1. Manages all aspects of student employment (e.g., eligibility, payroll, insurance, taxes).
  2. Provides a Success Coordinator who helps facilitate success for each partner and their students. 
  3. Matches students with partner positions based on each job description.
  4. Transports students to and from work.
  5. Provides orientation and ongoing training for supervisors.
  6. Facilitates 2-week work training for all new students and engaged students in ongoing work training through the school curriculum.

WORK SCHEDULE

CTK students traditionally work in a four-person job sharing team to fill one full-time equivalent position during standard daily business hours, Monday through Thursday, for the entire academic year.  Some partners choose instead to have each of their four students in a different role or even a different department.  Academic schedules are structured so that students work without ever missing class. Our integrated academic and CWSP experience is the distinguishing characteristic of CTK’s Cristo Rey education model.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

CTK students perform a wide range of responsibilities, such as data entry, IT support, project research, billing, office services, event set-up, customer service, and many other entry-level tasks. The Corporate Work Study office collaborates directly with you to generate a job description and a partnership experience that is mutually rewarding for your company and CTK students.
