Corporate Internship Program
How It Works
In its most basic sense, the CIP program works as follows:
Students + Sponsors = Education

Without our sponsors, families would not be able to afford the private school costs of De La Salle North Catholic High School. With the sponsors' support, students are able to help finance their own quality, college prep education.

  • Students work in job sharing teams to cover a standard business week, Monday through Friday.
  • Sponsoring Companies contract with the Corporate Internship Program to fill full-time, entry level jobs in their offices.
  • Students assign their earnings to De La Salle North Catholic High School to pay for 70% of the cost of their education.
  • Students work an eight hour day from the time they arrive until the time they leave (i.e. 8:30-4:30 or 9:00-5:00)
  • Students are employees of the Corporate Internship Program, NOT THE SPONSORING COMPANIES.
  • Students receive a college preparatory education they previously could not afford while gaining valuable job experience.
  • Academic schedules are structured so that students are available to work without missing class.
  • The Corporate Internship program handles all payroll, W-4, I-9,Workers' Compensation, FICA, and other employer issues for the students.
  • Each student works five full days per month
  • The program runs annually from Labor Day through the third week of June.
  • Each team is composed of four students
  • How does a team of students fill a full time position? How do we make Job sharing work?

    The Corporate Internship Program breaks students up by work days. Each student is assigned a workday (Tue., Wed., Thurs. or Fri.) As for Mondays, all of the students take turns working one Monday a month, every month. A team of 4 students is assigned to each participating company, allowing them to fulfill 42 days of work during their school year. The following chart can help you better understand the rotation.
