Who Benefits
The students, of course! However, employees at companies that partner with Cristo Rey schools report higher employee morale and company pride due to participation in the program.

Providence Cristo Rey students will be part of an educated workforce. They will have learned the value of “giving back” to society in gratitude for the gifts they have been given. In addition, the connections they have made with Indianapolis-based companies will likely entice them to give much more serious consideration to seeking employment at one of those businesses after they have completed college, thereby relieving the “brain drain” that has plagued the state of Indiana for years.
