Being here has made my faith strong. I love learning about my faith. The older I get, the more I appreciate what my faith is about.

Program Overview

Program Overview

The Corporate Work-Study Program (CWSP) is an integral part of the Saint Martin de Porres education. The CWSP provides many opportunities for St. Martin de Porres students throughout the city of Cleveland. Entry-level office positions in banking, law, medicine, finance and many other exciting career opportunities will be offered to the student.

One full-time, entry-level office job supports a team of four students. The cost is $24,500 for the 2007-2008 school year and compensates for the time they spend working at your organization. Saint Martin de Porres handles all employment issues such as Workers' Compensation, Social Security, Medicare and tax withholding. The money that you pay the students is used to cover their tuition costs at St. Martin de Porres.

Each student will work one full day a week (five full days a month) to help cover 70% of his/her tuition. The remaining four days of the week the student will attend classes. Saint Martin de Porres will administer the program as well as provide training and feedback for the students. Saint Martin de Porres will also provide transportation to and from the work site.
