Job Training
Before Cristo Rey Brooklyn students begin their work placements at the start of freshmen year, they complete a three week training program. Students’ full acceptance into Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School and the Corporate Work Study Program is contingent on a successful completion of the Summer Training Program. Throughout the program students learn computer skills in both the Google Suite and Microsoft Office, professional etiquette, basic office tasks, networking skills, resume writing, as well as basic math and literature. The program incorporates not only traditional classroom style instruction, but also hands on learning opportunities, including visits to partner organizations and a practice networking event.
In addition to preparing students to be successful at their job placements, the Summer Training Program also looks to integrate students into the larger Cristo Rey Brooklyn community, introducing them to our Catholic identity and college-bound culture.
At the end of their training, students are equipped to:
-
perform basic office duties including filing, faxing, copying, and inter-office mail processing
-
work with applications in both the Google Suite and Microsoft Office
-
receive and record phone messages in a professional manner

Testimonials
Supervisor,
American Express
I am an advocate for the Cristo Rey Corporate Work Study Program for a number of reasons. The first reason is because I was introduced to Corporate America via a work study program, many years ago. It was call the “co-op" program. It changed my life. I know firsthand the impact these types of programs can have on a young person’s life.
The second reason is because working with the Cristo Rey students is VERY rewarding. Rewarding for both the business and for the students. Watching the students develop over the years has been amazing! Our students get the opportunity to apply the business concepts and theories to their real world decision making. They leave American Express with solid work ethics and a good sense of social responsibility. They get the opportunity to meet professional role models and potential mentors who can provide guidance, feedback, and support. What a GREAT program!.”

One of my favorite quotes about kids speaks to the heart of the Cristo Rey philosophy... 'If we want our children to move mountains, we first have to let them get out of their chairs.' ~ Nicolette Sowder.
Cristo Rey provides children with an opportunity to learn in the classroom and use what they learn in a professional environment. The school educates the students and the corporate partners support that education by teaching the students how to use what they learn in real life situations. It is very rewarding working with the Cristo Rey students because they are happy and enthusiastic. They remind us all of how exciting everyday life can be, when viewed through the eyes of a young person.
Alum Class of 2022,
Employed at American Express
"Before I went to American Express I expected to be seen as younger or as a kid. Before I started working I never expected to be given important work or tasks because I am a freshman. However as soon as I got there I was expected to complete challenging work. I am not treated like a 14 year old but more as a co-worker and an important part of the company. At my job I am learning skills that I will most likely use when I get older. I am learning how to interact with people in the work space. I look forward to the rest of my time at AMEX."
Student Class of 2023,
Employee at Diocese of Brooklyn
Before I started working at the Diocese of Brooklyn, I felt like I was missing out on the real world. This job has given me the opportunity to grow professionally and academically. The transition from being a middle school student to being a high school student who works is a moment I will never forget.
