“I tried to give the corporate work study program a lot of hints to get me there or some kind of car company,” Emmanuel said.
Emmanuel, a freshman at Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep, was one of 206 students who were placed into one of more than 70 companies as a part of the school’s Corporate Work Study Program.

The Corporate Work Study Program provides real world workforce experience and development for the Cristo Rey students — the Fort Worth Botanic Garden | Botanical Research Institute of Texas, Texas Health Resources, Cook Children’s and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art were among sponsors.
In Emmanuel’s case, he is particularly interested in cars. Since middle school, he would overhear cousins talk about cars which sparked his interest in the industry.
Emmanuel grew up in Fort Worth and went to the college preparatory high school because his sister, Elizabeth, already attended.
“I have classmates that have been there before,” Emmanuel said. “So, I’m excited.”
