All students work five full days per month at companies across the greater Milwaukee area (including Milliman!). Through their innovative program, students gain confidence, connect the relevance of their academic coursework to future employment, acquire skills that will benefit their career, and receive unprecedented access to the professional world. Since the first graduating class six years ago, 100% of Cristo Rey Milwaukee graduates have been accepted into a four-year college or university. For many, they are the first generation in their families to attend college.
