How it Works
Students are employees of the Corporate Work Study program, not the job partners. Partners pay a flat fee to the Corporate Work Study program for one full-time Corporate Work Study team. The Corporate Work Study program handles all payroll, W-4, I-9, and Worker’s Compensation paperwork, as well as all routine employer issues.

Testimonials
“Students benefit from seeing that they belong in the workplace. It’s about exposure, seeing what the world is like beyond the classroom, being able to act on something and provide value and contribute to something – that’s how we build confidence.”
Natalie Dahl, Managing Director, CBRE
“The students have embraced this work experience with enthusiasm and openness to learn new things.”
Maria Olivia “Marioly” Galván, Chancellor and Director of Pastoral Ministries, Dioceses of San Diego
“The Corporate Work Study Program has been extremely rewarding for both the students and Precision Diagnostics. The students provide support to our lab, billing, compliance, human resources and shipping/receiving teams and have proved to be integral in keeping the flow of important information between all departments. Their work has become so important to Precision Diagnostics. Not only are we building experience and resumes for the students, but we are also providing valuable supervisorial experience for our staff.”
Sarah Pekarek, Senior Human Resources Generalist, Precision Diagnostics
