At Helix Mentorship Academy, we’ve introduced an innovative Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) that sets us apart in Louisiana. Our program, in collaboration with over 25 local business partners, transforms traditional student interns into an empowering educational experience.

  • Our CWSP is designed with the primary goal of benefiting our students. We believe that this internship experience is a vital part of their educational journey, equipping them with practical skills and experiences that will set them on a path to success.
  • CWSP students work as interns and are placed with partner organizations.
  • Sponsoring organizations provide a financial contribution to facilitate this enriching experience.

Local Opportunities in Action

Our students seamlessly manage their studies and interns through: Comprehensive college preparatory coursework over four years. One dedicated workday per week within the four-year Corporate Work Study Program.
Students work in job-sharing teams of four, each contributing five full workdays per month. Their academic schedules are thoughtfully designed to ensure they can work without missing any classes.
Our CWSP delivers tangible, life-shaping benefits: Cultivates positive business relationships, nurtures resourcefulness, and develops marketable skills. Establishes a valuable network of professional contacts, exposing students to diverse career pathways.
