Kolbe Cathedral Preparatory School

Bridge to Success Internship Program

Bridge to Success Internship Program, Kolbe Cathedral Prep: students working with professional mentors at laptops and an architectural model, the KC crest over a bridge to the city skyline, the cathedral, and the school building.

Kolbe Cathedral Prep

Four days in class. One day in the field.

Four days a week, our students engage in rigorous academic learning at school. On the fifth day, they become active professionals — stepping into real-world environments at hospitals, law firms, manufacturing facilities, architecture firms, and universities. To make the experience completely barrier-free for our families, the school covers the professional training, dedicated program staff, and daily transit behind every placement.

Barrier-Free by Design

What the program covers.

  • Professional training

    Summer workforce-readiness training led by outside consultants: time management, communication, email etiquette, AI in the workplace, Canva, and Excel.

  • Transportation

    Commuting costs from campus to each partner site, so lack of transit never stands in the way of opportunity.

  • Safety & liability

    The liability insurance that protects both students and host facilities, so partners can open their doors with peace of mind.
