NAIOP Pittsburgh Skyline Academy
The NAIOP Pittsburgh Skyline Academy will introduce students to career possibilities in commercial real estate (CRE), helping to build a pipeline of talent in Pittsburgh CRE. NAIOP Pittsburgh presents a unique learning experience that will immerse 25 rising juniors and seniors in the world of CRE. Through the camp, students will:
Explore a potential career path.
Examine placemaking and the built environment.
Begin to grow their professional networks.
Build lasting relationships with fellow program participants.
Accelerating Change in Pittsburgh CRE
Attracting diverse professionals to CRE enriches the talent pool with new voices and enables the industry to better represent the communities that CRE serves. By developing a camp focused on broadening students’ horizons to possible CRE careers, the NAIOP Pittsburgh Skyline Academy endeavors to accelerate greater representation in CRE for all underrepresented people. Students who complete the program and decide to pursue careers in CRE will have a strong professional advantage, which can serve to build equity in hiring practices in Pittsburgh CRE firms.
