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.
Development Completion
This hands-on one-day or multi-session program uses local real estate developments, projects or sites to showcase the many career options available within commercial real estate.
The CREW Careers Building Opportunities ® committee is responsible for planning and executing the annual outreach program with local high school girls, focusing on the fundamentals of commercial real estate and the career opportunities within the industry. This one-day event allows the participating girls to tour a commercial property through the eyes of a developer and then work as a team to present their redevelopment concept to a panel of judges.
