The Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Industry is a dynamic field with enormous potential for talented students interested in designing, building and managing beautiful spaces all over the globe. Historically, this industry has not been accessible to professionals with diverse backgrounds. That means it hasn’t been accessible to students, either – and as a result, we’ve missed out on incredible young talent.
The On the Rise Program is designed with this in mind. This 9-week training program introduces talented BIPOC youth to the world of CRE with classes specific to careers that often require a college education, like design or project and facilities management, as well as careers that don’t. These classes will be accompanied by panels led by top professionals in CRE, including architects, interior designers, furniture manufacturers, and more. Students will achieve a thorough understanding of the skills and tools required to start their journey into our industry with an exciting career.
