How it Works
Students gain invaluable work experience while providing tangible benefits to our partners. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship
For Partners
Partners employ a student team:
A team of 5 students can share one role or work across different departments. Each student works one day per week throughout the
school year. Fees paid by partners directly supports student education.
Flexible models to suit your needs: on-site, hybrid and remote:
While our students and employers benefit from in-person interaction, our program also supports working remotely under CWSP supervision. Student assigned workdays are aligned to employer schedules.
Partnership associates support each partnership:
A CWSP associate manages daily logistics, supports each partner’s needs, and enhances student professional development.
Trained students are matched to your criteria:
Students participate in intensive summer business “boot camp” and have ongoing training in hard and soft skills throughout the year.
We manage the HR needs for student workers:
CWSP manages employment eligibility, payroll, insurance, taxes, and other employer issues with the explicit approval of state agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor.
