CREW Careers
CREW CareersTM: Building Opportunities is a hands-on "Real Estate 101" classroom program presented by CREW Foundation, in conjunction with its Global Donor Partners, designed to introduce teenage girls to the many career opportunities available to them in the commercial real estate industry.
Local CREW Network chapters present the program in March/April as either a One-day or Multi-week program, using local real estate projects to illustrate the various career options available within commercial real estate and are led by a wide variety of local professional CREW members from all fields of the industry. These programs are delivered in cooperation with a local academic institution and/or not-for profit girls' group such as Girls, Inc. or Girl Scouts.
