The Work Study Program combines two common business concepts—employee leasing and job sharing—to provide a solution that is a win-win for students and partners.

The CWSP office is a separately incorporated entity that acts as a temporary employment agency. For a competitive annual fee, job partners receive one full-time Corporate Work-Study Team, for a ten-month contract period.

Each Corporate Work Study Team consists of four students, who together perform the work of one full-time, entry-level employee. Since students are employees of the CWSP, we handle all job-related paperwork, as well as taxes, benefits, and other expenditures. Cristo Rey Miami is also responsible for the students' transportation to and from work.

Four students share one job, and each has an assigned day on which he or she works (Monday - Thursday). On Fridays, students rotate, so every four weeks a student will work two days a week. Each student works a total of five days per month.

Workdays are Monday through Friday, during standard business hours (usually 8:30-9:00 am to 4:30-5:00 pm).

Students work in entry-level jobs at law firms, healthcare, banks, consulting, and other professional institutions. Typical job duties include filing, photocopying, data entry services, customer service, and IT tasks. Students are assigned to their job sites by the CWSP staff, with consideration to students’ interests and skills, and the requirements of the job partner.
