Career Outreach
"If she can see it, she can be it." ~ Geena Davis
The commercial real estate industry provides one of the greatest, yet often overlooked, career opportunities for women. From brokerage to law, finance, development, architecture and more, women are excelling in exciting and lucrative careers.
We are committed to bringing more women into commercial real estate by offering career outreach programs that educate students about the many opportunities in CRE. We are dedicated to supporting individuals pursuing careers in CRE and creating a more diverse talent pipeline into the industry. Join our efforts by getting involved in one of our career outreach programs below.
