The CRE Launch Program was created to attract and retain high quality talent in the industry. Graduates have gone on to enjoy successful careers in property management, brokerage, lending, underwriting, and insurance for dozens of commercial real estate companies.

The program consists of in person classes, online coursework, assignments, projects, mentorship and networking. It requires 10-15 hours a week commitment from the students but is designed for those working full time.

Classes commence in the summer of 2024 and will run for ten weeks. The program provides participants the opportunity to develop practical skills and expand their knowledge of commercial real estate.

The program is open to upperclassmen in college as well as new commercial real estate professionals looking for training. Students from more than ten universities and sixteen brokerage firms have participated in this program.

what graduates say

 

Having been part of Foresite’s Commercial Real Estate Training Program, I can say that this is an incredible opportunity to be mentored by industry leaders and veterans from Foresite Commercial Real Estate. Bethany, Chad, Alexandria, and the whole Foresite team were amazing to work with and were always willing to meet virtually one-on-one and provide insightful information for our course work. I’m grateful to have been part of Foresite’s 2020 Training Program, as I made so many connections and it led me to my current employment at NorthMarq!

My career is in commercial lending and this is where the class really helped me become both more confident in talking to customers about development projects but also underwriting their projects.
