Corporate Work Study Partner Profile:
Eli Lilly & Company
 Providence Cristo Rey currently has more than 94 Corporate Work Study Partners. Each year, as our student body grows, more corporations partner with us to provide a rich on-the-job professional environment that helps our students thrive. In honor of our 10-year anniversary, we are pleased to recognize companies who have partnered with Providence Cristo Rey for five or more years.
Eli Lilly & Company has been involved with PCRHS since we first opened in 2007. Eli Lilly's Chairman, President and CEO, John C. Lechleiter served on our school's feasibility study committee.
As he prepared for his retirement in the new year, Lechleiter expressed his gratitude to all of the supervisors who also served as mentors for PCRHS students. "If there is anything more important or rewarding that we do for this community, I don't know what it is," said Lechleiter.
"Each year, Eli Lilly is a leading participant in our Corporate Work Study parntership, hosting more than 25 students annually," said PCRHS President and CEO Joseph P. Heidt. "In addition to serving as a corporate partner, a number of Eli Lilly executives have served on the Providence Cristo Rey Board of Directors, ensuring the success of our mission." Among the 145 students who have taken part in the Corporate Work Study Experience at Eli Lilly is Montanea Daniels who graduated from PCRHS in 2011, Franklin College in 2015, and now works as a contract employee for Eli Lilly.
